Wright v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions of aggravated robbery and theft of property and his sentence of life in prison as a habitual offender, holding that there was no prejudicial error in the proceedings below.
On appeal, Defendant argued that there was insufficient to support his convictions for both crimes and that the circuit court erroneously concluded that his earlier Kansas conviction was comparable for sentencing purposes to an Arkansas serious felony involving violence. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; and (2) the circuit court did not err in determining that Defendant's Kansas burglary conviction qualified as a prior felony involving violence for sentencing purposes.
