Adams v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
1Opinion of the Court
ELANA CUNNINGHAM WILLS, Justice.
JLjA White County jury convicted Appellant Billy Terrell Adams of capital murder and he received a sentence of life in prison without parole. Adams brings four points for reversal on appeal, arguing that the trial court erred by (1) improperly questioning a juror and failing to require additional deliberation before accepting the verdict as unanimous; (2) refusing to strike a juror for cause; (3) denying Adams’s motions for a directed verdict; (4) refusing Adams’s proffered jury instructions. We affirm.
