Supreme Court of Arkansas

Michael Antonio Davis v. State of Arkansas

May 30, 2019574 S.W.3d 666

Summary

The court denied Davis's post-conviction petition asserting that the prosecution violated Brady by failing to disclose the favorable terms of a witness's plea agreements. Assuming the documents were accurate and complete, the court concluded that Davis established the favorable-evidence component of his claim but failed to show a reasonable probability of a different trial outcome given the substantial corroborating evidence. The court also declared Davis's motion moot.
