Kent Parris v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Parris's drug-related convictions, simultaneous-possession conviction, and church-zone sentencing enhancement because substantial evidence supported the jury's findings. It reversed the theft-by-receiving conviction because the State's only proof that the firearm was stolen was inadmissible hearsay testimony about an ACIC entry, and that testimony did not constitute substantial evidence that the firearm was stolen. The case was remanded for entry of a corrected sentencing order.
