Supreme Court of Arkansas

Timothy Clevenger v. State of Arkansas

September 11, 2025

Summary

The court affirmed Clevenger’s first-degree-murder conviction and life sentence. It held that substantial evidence supported the verdict, the search warrant was issued by a neutral and detached magistrate, and the multi-day search did not violate the prohibition on nighttime searches. Several claims were not preserved, and the challenged testimony and photographs were otherwise properly admitted. No separate opinions were filed.
