Supreme Court of Arkansas

Gerald Herbert Lowery v. State of Arkansas

November 14, 20192019 Ark. 332

Summary

The court affirmed Lowery's convictions for rape and second-degree sexual assault. It held that admitting his daughter's testimony under the pedophile exception did not constitute an abuse of discretion, and although the circuit court erred by permitting questioning about a discredited police report, the error was harmless because the report had already been discredited and the evidence was cumulative.
