Supreme Court of Arkansas
Jessie Earl Hill v. State of Arkansas
September 25, 2025
Summary
The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Hill’s postconviction motion and the imposition of a strike. It held that Hill could not use a civil Rule 60(c) motion to collaterally attack a criminal conviction or evade the procedural limits governing postconviction relief, and that his discernable double-jeopardy claim lacked merit because the offenses involved separate criminal acts and victims. The court also concluded that the motion was frivolous and that the strike was proper.
