Supreme Court of Arkansas

Robert Lee Williams, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

May 19, 2022644 S.W.3d 243

Summary

The court affirmed the life sentence imposed after resentencing a juvenile offender for capital murder. It held that the circuit court's sentencing decision was reviewed for abuse of discretion and that the court adequately considered the offender's youth, mitigating evidence, aggravating circumstances, and the nature of the crime. The record did not show that the circuit court acted improvidently, thoughtlessly, or without due consideration.
