Hinton v. State (Majority, with Concurring and Dissenting)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of aggravated robbery, theft of property, and possession of a defaced firearm. Appellant was charged as a habitual offender, and each conviction was enhanced by five years pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 16-90-120. Appellant was sentenced to a total of fifteen years’ imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court did not err in denying Appellant’s motion for directed verdict regarding the theft of property charge, as the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction; and (2) Appellant failed to show that the firearm enhancements he received pursuant to section 16-90-120(a) were illegal.
