Supreme Court of Arkansas

Robert J. Williams, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

February 8, 20242024 Ark. 7

Summary

The court affirmed Williams's convictions and sentences, holding that the circuit court properly granted the State's continuance, that only 252 speedy-trial days were chargeable to the State, and that the State's explanation for striking a Black juror was race-neutral and accepted by the circuit court. The court also declined to address undeveloped continuance arguments and found no prejudicial error on its required record review.
