Sims v. State

Jack Holt, Jr., Chief Justice.

The appellant, Terry Sims, was convicted of capital felony murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. On appeal, he asserts the following three points of error: (1) that the State unconstitutionally used its peremptory strikes to exclude African-Americans from the petit jury; (2) that the trial court erroneously denied the motion to transfer his case to juvenile court; and (3) that his confession was illegally taken. After examining these points as well as all objections decided adversely to Sims pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3 (h), we affirm.
