Supreme Court of Arkansas
Orlando Dominguez v. State of Arkansas
September 24, 20202020 Ark. 286
Summary
The court affirmed Dominguez’s three rape convictions and life sentences, holding that the victims’ testimony, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, constituted substantial evidence of each offense. The court also held that the victim-witness’s presence throughout the multicount trial did not violate Dominguez’s right to a fair trial because her testimony was based on personal knowledge, the alleged inconsistencies were minor, and Dominguez failed to show prejudice.
