Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cameron Scott Halliburton v. State of Arkansas

February 10, 20222022 Ark. 21

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Halliburton’s Rule 37.1 postconviction petition. It held that his challenge to the sufficiency of the criminal information was not jurisdictional and had to be raised before trial, so it could not be raised for the first time in a postconviction proceeding. The court also deemed his abandoned ineffective-assistance claims waived on appeal.
