Ark. R. Crim. P. 11.1
Reporter’s Notes to 2004 Amendments: The 2004 amendments added subsections (b) and (c). Subsection (b) codifies the burden of proof imposed on the state beginning with such cases as Scroggins v. State, 268 Ark. 261, 595 S.W.2d 219 (1980) and Rodriquez v. State, 262 Ark. 659, 559 S.W.2d 925 (1978). Arkansas Supreme Court jurisprudence on consensual searches requires the state to prove the voluntary character of consent by “clear and positive evidence” or “clear and positive testimony.” Subsection (c) incorporates the holding of State v. Brown, 356 Ark. 460, 156 S.W.3d 722 (2004), which requires that a home dweller be advised of his or her right to refuse consent to a search of the dwelling.
