Richard Shreck, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the appellant's convictions and sentences, holding that evidence concerning his discussions and images involving "snuff" sex was admissible during sentencing. The evidence was relevant character evidence because it reflected deviant sexual interests connected to the charged conspiracies, and its prejudicial effect did not substantially outweigh its probative value. Justice Josephine Linker Hart, dissenting, would have reversed and remanded for a new sentencing hearing because she considered the evidence irrelevant and unfairly prejudicial.
