Supreme Court of Arkansas

Detric Deshun Wilson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

June 8, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 183

Summary

The court affirmed Wilson’s convictions for aggravated robbery and two counts of robbery, holding that substantial evidence supported the inference that his threats were intended to resist apprehension immediately after a theft. It also upheld his mandatory life sentence, concluding that convictions imposed in criminal court for offenses committed while he was a juvenile could be used to enhance punishment for a later adult offense. The court found no prejudicial error in its required review of the record.
