Stewart v. State , 289 Ark. 272 ( 1986 )

John I. Purtle, Justice,

concurring. I agree with the majority opinion with the single exception of the failure to rule on the suppression of the fingerprints obtained as a result of the illegal arrest. In keeping with the time-honored doctrine of exclusion of fruit of the poisonous tree, I would at this time inform the trial court and the state that the illegally obtained fingerprints may not be used if a retrial is conducted in this case.
