Arkansas Supreme Court affirms Norman robbery sentence
The Arkansas Supreme Court upholds a six year prison term for James Daniel Norman on a Crittenden County robbery conviction. He was accused of taking $15 at gunpoint from a taxi driver on December 3, 1957, and was not captured until January 10, 1962 after release from a Georgia county penal farm. The decision rejected several appeal points including delay in trial. In Phillips County a separate ruling affirmed a Chancery Court decision allowing Monte E. Corder to occupy a store at 416 York Street in Helena for a furniture business, finding the instrument gave him rights akin to a widow’s dower and personal use subject to abandonment. Crawford Chancery Court’s ruling to compensate Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Dean from the Highway Department for an 18‑foot strip taken in a road project was affirmed, though the 1927 condemnation point was not fully developed. The court also upheld a Jackson Circuit Court verdict awarding Rafus Webster and others $2,250 for 12 acres condemned for a highway project.
