BRUCE EARL WARD APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE

No. CR-98-657

SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS

April 17, 2017

MOTION TO RECALL THE MANDATE AND FOR STAY OF EXECUTION [PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT NO. CR-89-1836]

DISSENTING OPINION.

SHAWN A. WOMACK, Associate Justice

Bruce Earl Ward and Don William Davis filed their motions jointly, but this court has chosen to dispose of them separately. Due to the identical legal issues involved, I discuss the facts and legal arguments of both Ward and Davis in my dissent in Davis v. State, 2017 Ark. 135 (Womack, J., dissenting), handed down this same day.

I dissent.

WOOD, J., joins in this dissent.
