Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wesley Jefferson v. State of Arkansas

April 18, 20242024 Ark. 64

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Wesley Jefferson’s petition to correct an illegal sentence because the governing statute did not require the circuit court to make more specific findings. The court also explained that Jefferson’s trial-error and ineffective-assistance claims were not cognizable in an illegal-sentence proceeding, and his motions for extensions were moot.
