Roosevelt Rashaun Coleman, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court held that Coleman unequivocally invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, but the detective continued questioning him and obtained a confession. Because the confession's admission was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, the aggravated-robbery conviction and firearm enhancement were reversed and remanded, while the revocations were affirmed. The court also upheld the use of Coleman's prior residential-burglary convictions for habitual-offender sentencing and declined to decide the hearsay issue because it might arise differently on retrial.
