Lamar Daniel Ron Wilson v. Dexter Payne, Director, Arkansas Division of Correction
1. Is a plea agreement, the statement of the accused, "I did it.", the sole piece of information necessary to convict? Specifically, is felony information and indictments/ charges not necessary?
2. U.S. Constitutional Amendment violations
A) 4th & 14th: Is it proper due process to convict, twice even, without felony information and a valid charging instrument/ indictment?
B) 5th: In reference to this Court 's previous decisions in Ball v U.S. and Benton v Maryland, is a new trial double jeopardy despite a previous acquittal (set aside) of the same conviction?
C): 6th: In the event of no valid charging instrument(s), and no supporting information on file, is there an accusation to be answered to?
3. Ineffective counsel
A) Is it in the best interests of the defendant for trial, as effective counsel, to refuse to move for a directed verdict at trial knowing full well prosecution has presented no evidence to establish even constructive guilt? Or rather, to pursue the continuing conviction of the accused prior to a preliminary hearing for a new trial knowing full well no charges/ indictments and no evidence has been presented at any time?
