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.
