Findley v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding no privilege when appellant’s statement to wife was intended to be disclosed to appellant’s sister
• rejecting Findley’s argument that the robbery and murder had to occur within a brief interval of time to qualify as “immediately” for purposes of murder statute at issue; the separation of the robbery from the murder by several days did not render the verdict without sufficient evidence
• Arkansas had jurisdiction of a capital felony murder case where underlying robbery was initiated in Arkansas though it culminated in Tennessee; essential part of the crime occurred in Arkansas
