Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kenneth Slocum v. State of Arkansas

May 29, 20252025 Ark. 96

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed the denial of Kenneth Slocum's motion to enforce an alleged agreement concerning preservation of objections to motions in limine. The court held that, regardless of its label, the motion attacked the criminal judgment and therefore constituted a petition under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1. Because it was filed approximately twenty-seven years after the appellate mandate, it was barred by the Rule's mandatory sixty-day deadline.
