Ke'von Turner v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed Turner’s two felony-capital-murder convictions and concurrent life sentences without parole. It held that substantial circumstantial evidence supported finding Turner liable as an accomplice, that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion by limiting punishment-related voir dire, and that testimony about a self-destructing Snapchat message was admissible under the best-evidence exception. The court also found no reversible error on its mandatory record review.
