Williams v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of aggravated robbery and misdemeanor theft of property, with a firearm enhancement. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, claiming that he was denied a fair and impartial trial, that his confession was the result of coercion by law enforcement, that his counsel provided ineffective assistance, and that the prosecutor committed misconduct during trial. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal and mooted the motions Appellant filed in relation to the appeal, holding that the petition was wholly without merit.
