Chumley v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of capital murder, holding that the circuit court did not err when it denied Defendant's directed verdict motion because there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction.
Specifically, Defendant argued that there was insufficient evidence that he was guilty of either capital or first-degree murder as felony murder during a rape or an attempted rape or intentional murder. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to uphold the jury's capital murder conviction and that, after examining the record in compliance with Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(i), no adverse ruling involved prejudicial error.
