Supreme Court of Arkansas

Eugene Wesley v. State of Arkansas

October 10, 20192019 Ark. 270

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Wesley's petition challenging his convictions and sentences because his double-jeopardy claim alleged an illegally imposed sentence rather than a facially illegal sentence, and the petition was untimely and successive. The court also held that Wesley's life sentence for aggravated robbery was within the statutory maximum and that no evidentiary hearing or more detailed findings were required. The motion for a file-marked copy of the brief was granted.
