Lamb v. State

Annabelle Clinton Imber, Justice.

John Lehman Lamb, Sr., was convicted by a jury in Greene County Circuit Court of raping H.M., a five-year-old girl, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Lamb now appeals his conviction, arguing two grounds for reversal: (1) the circuit court erred in denying his motion in hmine to exclude certain testimony under Ark. R. Evid. 404(b), and (2) the circuit court erred in denying his motion for directed verdict. Because Lamb received a life sentence, we have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. l-2(a)(2) (2007).
