Compromised Guilt: Systemic Denial Of The Right To A Unanimous Verdict In Arkansas, Bryan Altman
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
Currently, the State of Arkansas curiously stands alone in opposition to the rest of the nation when it comes to honoring the individual’s right to a unanimous verdict in a criminal trial. While never explicitly adopted by the Arkansas Supreme Court, Arkansas law has passively permitted two illegitimate practices to develop. First, prosecutors are permitted to submit evidence of multiple, separate acts to sustain a single criminal charge. Second, jurors are permitted to disregard factual disagreements and render patchwork verdicts, especially in the context of sex crime cases.
Arkansas practice and custom currently does not protect against a conviction based …

Is It Time For Arkansas To Consider Pretrial Reform?, Judge Cindy Grace Thyer
Is It Time For Arkansas To Consider Pretrial Reform?, Judge Cindy Grace Thyer
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
Approximately two-thirds of the national jail population consists of pretrial detainees––people who are constitutionally presumed innocent of the charges they are facing. Many, if not most, of these individuals are incarcerated because they are unable to post money bail. This article explores some of the complexities of pretrial release/detention reform. It begins with the history of bail from its early use in England through its grounding in each American state’s constitution, with special emphasis upon the reforms that have occurred in the American system of pretrial release since the 1920s. Drawing on information and experiences from states across the nation, …

The Right To Appeal In Comparative Perspective, Dražan Djukić
The Right To Appeal In Comparative Perspective, Dražan Djukić
The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process
Appellate procedures regarding the most serious crimes under domestic law are, in general, conducted differently in common law and civil law systems. This article reviews the differences concerning the primary facets of such proceedings, namely prosecutorial rights of appeal, access to appellate review, the scope of appellate review, the admission of additional evidence, appellate decisionmaking powers, and the functions of appellate review. It then explains that these differences result from dissimilar decisionmaking processes, degrees of adherence to the search for the truth, and sources of law.

Presumed Guilty, Terrence Cain
Presumed Guilty, Terrence Cain
Law Faculty Scholarship
It would probably surprise the average American to learn that prosecutors need only prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt sometimes. Although the Due Process Clauses of the Constitution require that the government prove each element of an alleged criminal offense beyond a reasonable doubt, the use of statutory presumptions has relieved the government of this responsibility, and in some cases, has even shifted the burden to the defendant to disprove the presumption. Likewise, the Sixth Amendment grants a criminal defendant the right to have the jury and the jury alone determine whether the government has met its burden and ultimately …

Brady, Arkansas Rule 17.1, And Disclosure Of Scientific Evidence And Expert Opinion, J. Thomas Sullivan
Brady, Arkansas Rule 17.1, And Disclosure Of Scientific Evidence And Expert Opinion, J. Thomas Sullivan
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
The United States Constitution as well as state procedural rules require prosecutorial authorities to disclose evidence to the defense as a means for ensuring fairness in the prosecution of individuals charged with criminal offenses. When prosecutorial authorities fail to disclose evidence as required, the integrity of the criminal justice system is threatened and the defense is unable to adequately prepare for trial. This threat is illustrated and magnified by the substantiation of prosecutorial misconduct claims in high profile trials where prosecutors have been unable to resist the temptation not to disclose evidence that could damage the prosecution's case, or, where …

Furman, After Four Decades, J. Thomas Sullivan
Law Faculty Scholarship
Problems of racial discrimination in the imposition of capital sentences, disclosure of misconduct by prosecutors and police, inconsistency in the quality of defense afforded capital defendants, exoneration of death row inmates due to newly available DNA testing, and, most recently, controversies surrounding the potential for cruelty in the execution process itself continue to complicate views about the morality, legality, and practicality of reliance on capital punishment to address even the most heinous of homicide offenses. Despite repeated efforts by the Supreme Court to craft a capital sentencing framework that ensures that death sentences be imposed fairly in light of the …
