Mauricio Alejandro Torres v. State of Arkansas — Womack, J., Dissenting

Summary

This dissent argues that Arkansas had jurisdiction to prosecute Torres for capital felony murder because the victim died in Arkansas, even though the predicate felony occurred in Missouri. It contends that the majority improperly treated the underlying felony as the relevant offense rather than capital felony murder, whose elements include the victim's death. The dissent would affirm the conviction.
