Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tracy Duane Wright v. State of Arkansas

May 19, 2022644 S.W.3d 236

Summary

The court affirmed Wright’s convictions for aggravated robbery and theft of property, concluding that substantial evidence supported both verdicts. The evidence connected Wright to the robbery through his confession and corroborating circumstantial evidence, and supported an inference that he intended to deprive the vehicle’s owner of the truck. The court also upheld the determination that Wright’s prior Kansas burglary conviction was comparable to an Arkansas residential burglary, making his mandatory life sentence valid.
