Otis D. Gipson v. State of Arkansas and Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court held that the Pulaski County Circuit Court had jurisdiction to consider the appellant's petition for new scientific testing because it was the court in which his conviction was entered. Nevertheless, the dismissal was affirmed because the petition was filed more than thirty-six months after the conviction, did not rebut the statutory presumption of untimeliness, and did not identify specific newly discovered evidence. The appellant's motion to file a belated reply brief was deemed moot.
