Stanley Norton Mahmoud v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Mahmoud's Act 1780 petition seeking fingerprint and DNA testing based on a claim of actual innocence. It held that he failed to rebut the statutory presumption that his petition, filed more than twenty years after conviction, was untimely, and failed to show that identity was at issue or that the requested evidence remained in the State's possession and available for testing.
