Robert Smith III v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Smith’s convictions for capital murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and theft because substantial evidence supported his accomplice liability, the search warrant established probable cause, and the challenged evidentiary and trial rulings either were proper or unpreserved and nonprejudicial. It remanded solely to correct the sentencing order because Smith was sixteen when he committed the capital murder and therefore was eligible for parole after thirty years rather than sentenced to life without parole.
