Kedrick Trevon Darrough, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed the denial of Darrough's habeas petition. It held that the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure did not create a default-judgment remedy in this habeas proceeding, that his drug-delivery convictions were subject to the statutory enhancement despite his reliance on an out-of-state conviction and an exception applicable to simple possession, and that no evidentiary hearing was required. The court also declined to address constitutional arguments raised for the first time on appeal.
