Description
Appellant Max Eastin appeals the circuit courts denial of his petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1. In 2005, Eastin was convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine, use of paraphernalia to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, and simultaneous possession of drugs and a firearm, for which he was sentenced to a total of 480 months imprisonment. Eastin appealed to the Arkansas Court of Appeals, which reversed and remanded, concluding the circuit court erred in denying Eastins motion to suppress evidence because the search warrant was based on information from a confidential informant whose reliability was not established and that the circuit court erred in admitting a transcript of appellants statement when the original tape of his statement no longer existed. Eastin v. State, 97 Ark. App. 81, 244 S.W.3d 718 (2006). The State filed a petition for review, which we granted. This court affirmed the circuit court and reversed the court of appeals. Eastin v. State, 370 Ark. 10, 257 S.W.3d 58 (2007). We held that Eastin failed to preserve his arguments regarding sufficiency of the evidence and his motion to suppress, that Eastin failed to show how the confidential informants identity was necessary to his defense, and that, while the circuit court may well have erred in admitting the transcript into evidence when the original recording was unavailable, any error was harmless.
