John Drennan v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Drennan's convictions and life sentence, holding that substantial evidence supported the jury's finding that he purposely shot and killed Amber. It also held that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion by excluding evidence of methamphetamine and amphetamine metabolites because Drennan did not establish that the substances were linked to the shooting, and any limited probative value was substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice. The court conducted the required review of adverse rulings and found no reversible error.
