Lambert v. State

| Appellant Derrick Lambert was convicted by a Drew County jury of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to four years in the Arkansas Department of Correction and fined $1000. Following trial, Lambert filed a motion for new trial, which was denied. On appeal, he raises two arguments for reversal: (1) his conviction was not supported by substantial evidence, and (2) the circuit court erred in denying his motion for new trial. We find no error and affirm.
