Denzell Braud v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Braud's postconviction petition because his claims either were not cognizable in a Rule 37.1 proceeding, had been abandoned, or were raised for the first time on appeal. The court held that an alleged illegal arrest, Miranda and statement-admissibility challenges, and the due-process challenge to the photo lineup could not support postconviction relief, while the appellate-counsel claim was unpreserved. No separate opinions were filed.
