Heading: Jury oath

Text: Mr. Jones takes issue with the oath the jury was sworn to, but his abstract fails to demonstrate the oath that was administered. The administration of the oath is absent from the record as well. In his reply brief, Mr. Jones states that he did not abstract the oath because the court reporter failed to record it. We have clearly stated the rules for a proper abstract in Ark.Sup. Ct.R. 4-2(a)(6). That a pertinent point on appeal has been omitted from the record is an unacceptable excuse for a failure to properly abstract. It is an appellant's responsibility to produce a sufficient record of all issues to be appealed. Odum v. State, 311 Ark. 576, 845 S.W.2d 524 (1993); Sullinger v. State, 310 Ark. 690, 840 S.W.2d 797 (1992).
