Vincent Hussey v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Hussey's successive Act 1780 petition seeking new DNA testing because he failed to show that the proposed testing would materially advance an actual-innocence claim or overcome the statutory timeliness presumption. The court also held that his procedural-due-process argument was unpreserved and that no evidentiary hearing was required because the petition and record conclusively showed he was not entitled to relief.
