Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chris Allen Oliger v. State of Arkansas

February 12, 20262026 Ark. 30

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Oliger's Rule 37.1 petition. It held that Oliger failed to factually support his ineffective-assistance claims concerning a purported exculpatory laptop recording and unidentified DNA, his Brady claim was both unsupported and procedurally noncognizable, and his claim that the prosecution presented false testimony was a direct challenge to the conviction that could not be raised in postconviction proceedings.
