Thomas v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a trial, Defendant was convicted of unidentified crimes. Defendant filed a petition for postconviction relief, contending that the circuit court erred in finding that his trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance by failing to object to the circuit court's change of venue and by failing to introduce the testimony of a witness at trial or offer transcribed testimony of the witness from a pretrial hearing to rebut an inference that Defendant had contemplated raping the victim. The Supreme Court declined to reach the merits of Defendant's argument because Defendant's brief did not comply with Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8) and he had failed to file a sufficient record for the Court's review.
