Supreme Court of Arkansas

Siler v. State

February 16, 20172017 Ark. 45

Summary

The court denied Siler’s motion for a belated appeal because the trial court found that he knowingly and voluntarily chose not to appeal within the time allowed for filing a notice of appeal. Because the issue depended on conflicting testimony and witness credibility, the court accepted the trial court’s factual findings under the clearly erroneous standard.
