Keenan Hudson v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Hudson’s capital-murder conviction, life-without-parole sentence, and consecutive firearm enhancement. It held that substantial evidence supported the finding that Hudson purposefully fired a handgun from a vehicle and caused the victim’s death, that his custodial statements followed a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary Miranda waiver, and that the supplemented record permitted full appellate review. The court also held that several arguments were unpreserved or abandoned and found no other prejudicial error under its mandatory review.
