Supreme Court of Arkansas

Clarence Turnbo v. State of Arkansas

June 5, 20252025 Ark. 106

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Clarence Turnbo’s Rule 37.1 petition, concluding that none of his ineffective-assistance claims demonstrated deficient performance and resulting prejudice. The court also held that several arguments were unpreserved, previously decided on direct appeal, or supported only by conclusory allegations, and that the record conclusively showed he was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing.
