Newton v. State

JOHN B. ROBBINS, Judge.

| Appellant Keith Laron Newton was convicted in a jury trial of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, and compounding. He was sentenced to concurrent prison terms of thirty, three, and five years. On appeal, Mr. Newton challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support each of his convictions. He also argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for continuance that he made on the day of trial. We affirm.

We consider sufficiency of the evidence before addressing other alleged trial errors. Sera v. State, 341 Ark.…
