Supreme Court of Arkansas

Brian F. Ward, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Wood, J., Dissenting

June 8, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 181

Summary

Justice Wood's dissent would affirm the circuit court's resentencing of Ward, concluding that the remand mandate authorized resentencing without imposing a specific sentencing range or other parameter. The dissent reasons that both the mandate's text and the underlying opinion required only resentencing and that the circuit court acted consistently with that directive.
