Supreme Court of Arkansas
Corey Jeffery v. State of Arkansas
May 30, 2024688 S.W.3d 139
Summary
The court affirmed Jeffery’s convictions for capital murder and first-degree unlawful discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, rejecting his claim that the State presented insufficient evidence. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, the court held that the combination of firearm evidence, Jeffery’s presence and conduct at the crime scene, the victim’s wounds, and evidence of an effort to silence a witness constituted substantial evidence supporting the convictions.
