Supreme Court of Arkansas

Jerry W. McKee v. State of Arkansas

October 15, 2020608 S.W.3d 584

Summary

The court affirmed McKee’s rape conviction and life sentence, holding that substantial evidence supported the verdict and that the circuit court committed no reversible error in its evidentiary and procedural rulings. The court concluded that the rape-shield ruling was within the circuit court’s discretion, any alleged hearsay error was harmless or inadequately developed, the suppression argument was unpreserved, and the remaining challenges lacked merit.
