Supreme Court of Arkansas
Sir Jeffery McNeil-lewis v. State of Arkansas
March 30, 2023661 S.W.3d 195
Summary
The court affirmed McNeil-Lewis’s convictions and sentence, holding that the 911 calls were nontestimonial statements made to obtain assistance during an ongoing emergency. It further held that any error in admitting the absent eyewitness’s dash-camera statements was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the identification was cumulative and independently corroborated by eyewitness and physical evidence. The court declined to reach the remaining claims because they were not preserved.
