Supreme Court of Arkansas

Eric Overton v. State of Arkansas

June 5, 20252025 Ark. 105

Summary

The court affirmed Overton’s convictions for rape and internet stalking of a child. It held that the victim’s testimony provided substantial evidence of rape despite her inability to recall exact dates or location, and that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in denying an objection and mistrial motion concerning a prosecutor’s voir dire comments about a single witness’s testimony.
