Supreme Court of Arkansas

Daniel Curtis Johnson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

March 30, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 91

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Johnson's motion for a new trial based on a witness's newly discovered Facebook post. It held that the post was consistent with the witness's trial testimony, was not a recantation, and at most provided cumulative impeachment evidence that would not probably have changed the verdict.
