Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tyrun Lamont Jones v. State of Arkansas

January 24, 2019565 S.W.3d 100

Summary

The court dismissed Jones's appeal from the denial of habeas relief because his petition alleged no basis that could support issuance of the writ, and it declared his motion for additional briefing time moot. The court held that his challenges to the investigation, witnesses, and evidentiary sufficiency could not be raised in habeas proceedings, while his conflict-of-interest claims did not attack the judgment's facial validity or the trial court's jurisdiction. The opinion does not address the merits of the requested briefing extension because the appeal was dismissed.
