Supreme Court of Arkansas
Jacovan Bush v. State of Arkansas
May 9, 2024687 S.W.3d 570
Summary
The court affirmed Bush's convictions for capital murder, aggravated residential burglary, aggravated robbery, and theft of property. It held that the evidence, including DNA matching Bush's profile and testimony that the blood was initially wet, constituted substantial evidence supporting the convictions. It also held that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion by admitting a crime-scene specialist's lay opinion that the blood had changed from fresher to dried. No separate opinions were filed.
