Hillman v. State

Appellant Ulrick Hillman was tried before a Miller County jury on a charge of rape. The jury convicted him, and he was sentenced to ten years in prison. On appeal, appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the element of forcible compulsion against the victim. We affirm.

The standard of appellate review is well settled. The test for determining the sufficiency of the evidence is whether the verdict is supported by substantial evidence, direct or circumstantial. Estrada v. State , 2011 Ark. 3, 376 S.W.3d 395 ;
