83, 987 S.W.2d 668 (1999), and holds that appellant's convictions and sentences for both Class Y terroristic act and second-degree battery do not violate the prohibition against double jeopardy. Appellant argues under section (C) of his first point that the trial court erred in submitting both alleged offenses to the jury, and in ultimately entering judgments of conviction and sentences for both, because the battery was a lesser-included offense of the terroristic act. The second note asked what the minimum fine was for first-degree battery and committing a terroristic act.

Welcome to FindLaw's Cases & Codes, a free source of state and federal court opinions, state laws, and the United States Code. Therefore, under the Blockburger test, because each offense does not require proof of additional elements, the two statutes punish the same conduct. Nevertheless, even though the majority holds that appellant's argument is procedurally barred, it asserts that [e]ven were we to consider appellant's double-jeopardy argument on the merits, we would hold that no violation occurred. Proceeding from the State's contentions and proof that appellant fired multiple shots at Mrs. Brown's van and that Mrs. Brown was personally hit twice, the majority opinion concludes that appellant's convictions for second-degree battery and committing a terroristic act are not constitutionally infirm because they are based on two separate criminal acts..

Appellant argues in his brief that the second-degree battery statute specifically prohibits individuals with various mental states from causing injury to other persons, whereas the statute prohibiting the commission of a terroristic act prohibits the general act of shooting or projecting objects at structures and conveyances in order to protect both the property and the occupants. That is, when multiple shots are fired, each shot poses a separate and distinct threat of serious harm to any individual within their range. Criminal Offenses 5-13-310. Hill v.

See Gatlin v. State, supra. See Ark.Code Ann. Lock sentencing guidelines on 1/1/1994. The jury returned their guilty verdict Tuesday evening. Thus, the prohibition against double jeopardy was not violated in this case. Nothing in the McLennan opinion supports that notion, nor does the majority opinion offer any other authority for it. 5-1-110(a) (Repl.1993). The majority asserts that appellant's double jeopardy argument on appeal is procedurally barred. See Ark.Code Ann. Circuit Court jury convicted him of two counts of a terroristic act, which he committed in March 2002. The Supreme Court has stated, Because the substantive power to prescribe crimes and determine punishments is vested with the legislature, the question under the Double Jeopardy Clause [of] whether punishments are multiple is essentially one of legislative intent[. Both the timing and content of appellant's objections and motions at trial show that they were directed at forcing the State to elect between the two offenses before submission of the case to the jury and to prevent the jury from being instructed on both offenses.3 However, appellant was entitled to neither form of relief. Williams has prior felonies for distribution of drugs and is on parole because of those convictions. It must be accompanied by the intent to terrorize another person, cause a building to become evacuated, or incite extreme panic in the general public.

2536, 81 L.Ed.2d 425 (1984). Because this case presents an issue of first impression regarding whether a prosecution for second-degree battery and committing a terroristic act based on the same conduct violates the Fifth Amendment's prohibition against double jeopardy, we attempted to certify the appeal to the Arkansas Supreme Court, pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 1-2(b)(1) and (3). He maintains that the offense of committing a terroristic act includes all of the elements of committing second-degree battery.2 Therefore, he argues, second-degree battery is a lesser-included offense of committing a terroristic act, and he cannot be prosecuted under both charges. Cite this article: FindLaw.com - Arkansas Code Title 5. An accused may be charged and prosecuted for different criminal offenses, even though one offense is a lesser-included offense, or an underlying offense, of another offense. Indeed, had the supreme court found reversible error on double-jeopardy grounds, it would have reversed and dismissed the conviction and sentence for the less serious offense. <>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 792] /Contents 4 0 R/StructParents 0>>
It appears that appellant presumes that the only finding that could reasonably be reached from the evidence was that Mrs. Brown was shot only once. Thus, I respectfully dissent. See Kemp v. State, 335 Ark. He further argues that, pursuant to section (a)(5), that the single act of shooting was a continuing course of conduct. 3 0 obj
However, this does not require proof of an additional element beyond proving the defendant caused serious physical injury. When Justice Smith wrote in McLennan that there is no question multiple charges would ensue, he plainly referred to multiple counts of the same terroristic act charge, not separate charges for entirely different offenses. 177, 790 S.W.2d 919 (1990).

60CR-17-4171 is wholly affirmed. Similarly, we hold that appellant's argument that his convictions for both committing a terroristic act and second-degree battery violate Arkansas Code Annotated section 5-1-110(4) and (5) (Repl.1997) is not preserved for appeal. 5-13-310, Terroristic Act (Class B felony)*, and A.C.A. In that case, the appellant argued that his conviction on multiple counts of committing a terroristic act-rather than a single count-violated his Fifth Amendment double jeopardy right. Appellant was sentenced to serve 120 months for his conviction for committing a terroristic act, and was ordered to pay a $1.00 fine for second-degree battery. 83, 987 S.W.2d 668 (1999), that committing a terroristic act is not a continuous-course-of-conduct crime. He was convicted of second-degree battery, plainly a lesser-included-offense of first-degree battery. The discussion in Hill of the procedure to follow on remand regarding the double-jeopardy issue appears only because there was going to be a new trial on account of the other grounds, there was a possibility that multiple findings of guilt might again occur, and the supreme court was providing guidance [to] the trial court upon retrial. Hill, 314 Ark. The elements for committing a second-degree battery under either section of the battery statute were met in this case where the State proved appellant committed a Class Y terroristic act. If prosecution under these circumstances does not constitute double jeopardy, I cannot imagine a scenario in which it would exist. However, a person cannot commit a Class Y terroristic act without also committing second-degree battery because a person cannot commit a Class Y terroristic act without intending to cause physical injury to another person and without causing serious physical injury to another person.

At the close of the State's case and at the close of all of the evidence, appellant moved for a directed verdict, asserting that the State failed to prove that Mrs. Brown suffered serious physical injury. The final guilty verdict arrived late Friday evening, when jurors deliberated for only 20 minutes after hearing the evidence against Ryan Kinsey, 35, of Beebe, who was charged with one count of Social Security fraud and one count of making materially false statements to the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, Hill does not stand for the proposition that an appellant's constitutional double-jeopardy argument is procedurally barred because he does not wait until the jury returns both verdicts to move the trial court to limit the conviction to only one charge. A locked padlock Given the applicable federal case law governing double jeopardy, and because there is no clear legislative intent indicating that the offenses are to be punished cumulatively, pursuant to Rowbottom v. State, 341 Ark. Therefore, the double jeopardy analysis must be restricted to the elements of establishing second-degree battery and committing a Class Y terroristic act. See also Sherman v.

> Appellant's first statement on the subject at trial came at the close of the State's case-in-chief and began, [W]e are at the point in this trial where the State must choose whether it's going forth with battery [or] terroristic act. His last comments came at the close of his own case-in-chief, before the jury was instructed, and concluded, [I]t's unfair to the defendant to-to have it submitted to the jury on both counts, when he could be convicted of both counts, when, in reality, it's one set of facts and one act and one act only.. Here, after the jury returned with guilty verdicts on both offenses, appellant said nothing. 306 (1932), is that: where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, the test to be applied to determine whether there are two offenses or only one is whether each provision requires proof of an additional fact which the other does not A single act may be an offense against two statutes; and if each statute requires proof of an additional fact which the other does not, an acquittal or conviction under either statute does not exempt the defendant from prosecution and punishment under the other.. Clearly, a person can commit a Class B terroristic act without committing second-degree battery because one commits a Class B terroristic act without causing physical injury or serious physical injury to a person. Hill v. State, supra, clearly does not stand for the proposition that the majority asserts. (a) A person commits a terroristic act if, while not in the commission of a lawful act, the person: (1) Shoots at or in any manner projects an object at a conveyance which is being operated or which is occupied by another person with the purpose to cause injury to another person or damage to property; or James Brown appeals from his convictions for second-degree battery and committing a terroristic act. But the terroristic act count involving Mrs. Brown is based upon the same or-well, actually the same facts and circumstances as the battery in the first-degree charge, the distinction being one is a Class [B] felony and one is a Class Y. First, the two offenses are of the same generic class. The majority impliedly does so with no authority for its conclusion. Justice Smith's opinion is crystal clear on this subject: Appellant contends that a violation of Ark.Code Ann.

514, 954 S.W.2d 932 (1997); Webb v. State, 328 Ark. The third note asked with regard to committing a terroristic act (count 2) whether appellant could be sentenced to probation, a suspended sentence, or to a term fewer than ten years. A combination of pandemic-related delays and a significant increase in caseload resulted in four simultaneous jury trials in federal court last week. 6.

Sign up for alerts on career opportunities. 2536, 81 L.Ed.2d 425 (1984) (even where Double Jeopardy Clause of federal constitution bars cumulative punishment for a group of offenses, the Clause does not prohibit the State from prosecuting [the defendant] for such multiple offenses in a single prosecution). The offense of committing a Class Y terroristic act requires an additional element of proof beyond what must be shown to establish second-degree battery. The trial court denied the motion. He argues that the only option left by the trial court was to either grant a mistrial or force the jury to sentence him to serve ten years, the minimum sentence for a Class Y felony. Terroristic threatening in the second degree is a Class A misdemeanor. The statute further specifies that the punishment imposed shall be in addition to the punishment for the underlying crime. At trial, the United States called numerous witnesses who all testified that during the time periods alleged they had either bought horses or hay from Kinsey or had Kinsey transport livestock.

Indeed, Mr. Brown testified before the jury that he was not trying to tell them that this course of events did not happen; he just wanted them to take into consideration why it happened, which was because he was angry at her for having an affair with a co-worker and he just snapped. It was for the jury to conclude what exactly occurred that day. 5-4-301(a)(1)(C). Therefore, for this one act, appellant is being punished twice. Please try again. 5-1-110(a)(1) (Repl.1997); Hill v.
