Elliott v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court denying Appellant's petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, holding that there was no error in the trial court's denial of relief.
In his postconviction petition, Appellant raised eight arguments. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's denial of the petition, holding (1) Appellant's Rule 37.1 petition was timely filed; (2) Appellant's challenges to his underlying guilty plea and conviction were not properly before the Court in this appeal; (3) the trial court did not err in finding that the denial of Appellant's request for an irretrievable-depravity instruction was not improper; and (4) Appellant's remaining arguments were without merit.
