Heading: Testimony of Roger Walls

Text: Mr. Jacobs next argues the Trial Court erred in admitting the testimony of Roger Walls. Apparently in response to Mr. Jacobs' attempt to prove he did not reside at Ms. Wilson's home, and thus could not be shown to be in constructive possession of the contraband found there, Mr. Walls testified that when he searched Ms. Wilson's home he found men's toiletries and clothing in the bedroom. The toiletry items were so situated on night stands on either side of a bed as to lead him to conclude that a male person occupied the bedroom with Ms. Wilson. Mr. Jacobs argues the testimony was inadmissible because Mr. Walls was present in the courtroom the first day of trial, in violation of Ark.R.Evid. 615, and that he was not listed as a witness by the State in accordance with Ark.R.Crim.P. 17.1.
