Supreme Court of Arkansas July 10, 1995, CR 94-1085 (Gooden v. State)

Tom Glaze, Justice.

Appellant Norvell Gooden was found guilty by a jury of arson and sentenced as a habitual offender to fifty years in prison. Gooden’s sole point for reversal is that the trial judge erred in allowing the prosecution to cross-examine defense witness, Derrick Dodson, by asking him if he was aware of Gooden’s four prior felony convictions.
