The Invalidity Of A Plea Of Guilty To A Criminal Offense Made By Video Teleconferencing When The Defendant Is Not Present In Open Court, William R. Simpson Jr., Clint Miller, David Sudduth Jan 2012

The Invalidity Of A Plea Of Guilty To A Criminal Offense Made By Video Teleconferencing When The Defendant Is Not Present In Open Court, William R. Simpson Jr., Clint Miller, David Sudduth

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

Despite the critical importance of this moment, Arkansas district and circuit courts are more commonly taking guilty pleas from defendants by video teleconferencing (VTC) instead of requiring defendants to be physically present in the courtroom.

Crawford, Retroactivity, And The Importance Of Being Earnest, J. Thomas Sullivan Jan 2008

Crawford, Retroactivity, And The Importance Of Being Earnest, J. Thomas Sullivan

Law Faculty Scholarship

Washington. He discusses the past quarter century of the Court's confrontation decisions and their impact on his client, Ralph Rodney Earnest, recounting the defendant's conviction and twenty-four-year litigation journey through state and federal courts to his eventual release from prison in the only successful attempt to use Crawford retroactively known to date.
