Supreme Court of Arkansas
State of Arkansas, Appellant v. Mario D. Thompson, Appellee — Hart, J., Dissenting
February 23, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 45
Summary
Justice Hart dissented from the majority's reversal of postconviction relief, arguing that the circuit court did not clearly err in finding prejudice from counsel's sentencing errors. She maintained that the majority improperly applied an effectively impossible prejudice standard to a defendant who received a discretionary sentence below the maximum and urged reconsideration of that standard. No separate opinions were provided.
