Bobby Wyles v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Wyles's convictions for two counts of capital murder, holding that substantial evidence supported the jury's finding of premeditation and deliberation. The number, severity, and location of the stab wounds, together with the prolonged struggle and Wyles's conduct before and during the attacks, supported the verdict when viewed in the light most favorable to the State. The court declined to address the mental state required for first-degree murder because the capital-murder convictions were supported. No separate opinions were filed.
