Fred L. Williams v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Williams’s Rule 37.1 petition and held that his claims concerning an illegal search, juror misconduct, and prosecutorial misconduct were not cognizable in a postconviction proceeding. It also held that Williams failed to establish ineffective assistance because he did not show deficient performance or a reasonable probability that any alleged error affected the verdict. His pending motions were therefore moot.
