Supreme Court of Arkansas

Warren Goodrum v. State of Arkansas

April 17, 20252025 Ark. 41

Summary

The court affirmed Goodrum's mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without parole for capital murder committed at age eighteen. It declined to consider his argument that the constitutional limitation on juvenile life-without-parole sentences should extend to him because he did not raise the issue in the circuit court and expressly acknowledged the mandatory sentence. No separate opinions were filed.
