Hunter Bishop v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Bishop's capital-murder conviction and life-without-parole sentence. It held that officers had reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk Bishop, and that discovery of an empty gun holster supplied probable cause for his arrest, so suppression was unwarranted. It also held that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion by admitting portions of videotaped interviews containing investigators' statements after excluding references to Bishop's prior felonies and giving limiting admonitions.
