Supreme Court of Arkansas

Dylan Collins v. State of Arkansas

September 25, 2025

Summary

The court affirmed Collins's capital-murder conviction and firearm-enhancement sentence, holding that substantial evidence supported the jury's rejection of his justification defense. The court also held that the circuit court acted within its discretion by limiting voir dire discussion of burdens of proof to beyond a reasonable doubt. The court found no prejudicial error on its required review of the record.
