Supreme Court of Arkansas June 16, 1997, CR 96-1314 (Pyles v. State)

W.H. “Dub” Arnold, Chief Justice.

The appellant, Jason Pyles, was convicted of the first-degree murder of Rick Humphries. Pyles appeals that conviction based upon seven arguments of error. Specifically, Pyles contends that the trial court erred by the excluding testimony of a proffered defense witness, testimony relating to a polygraph, and testimony of a note written to the victim.
