Heading: Gary Cloird v. State

Text: Gary Cloird was convicted of rape and theft of property, and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment for the rape conviction and five years imprisonment and a $1000 fine for theft of a van. The sentences were to run consecutively with each other and with any sentence he was then serving. Cloird was acquitted of the kidnapping charge. Cloird challenges the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal. However, he failed to renew his motion for a directed verdict at the end of all the evidence. To preserve a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, the appellant must move for a directed verdict both at the end of the state's case-in-chief and again at the close of all the evidence. Zinger v. State, 313 Ark. 70, 852 S.W.2d 320 (1993); Ark.R.Cr.P. 36.21(b) (1993). Cloird also challenges the pretrial identification procedure, but failed to make a timely objection below. An argument for reversal will not be considered in the absence of an appropriate objection. Wicks v. State, 270 Ark. 781, 606 S.W.2d 366 (1980). Affirmed. HOLT, C.J., and BROWN, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part. DUDLEY, J., not participating in Burton v. State.
