Supreme Court of Arkansas April 6, 2006, CR 05-1116 (Ellis v. State)

Jim Hannah, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Steve Ellis, appeals the judgment of the Clark County Circuit Court convicting him of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife, Vanessa Ellis, and sentencing him to fife imprisonment. Ellis’s points for reversal are that the circuit court erred in denying his motion for directed verdict and his motion for mistrial.
