ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION IV
No. CR-15-139

Opinion Delivered OCTOBER 7, 2015

APPEAL FROM THE LONOKE
RAMON PEREZ COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
APPELLANT [NO. CR-14-18]

V. HONORABLE SANDY HUCKABEE,
JUDGE

STATE OF ARKANSAS REMANDED TO SUPPLEMENT THE
APPELLEE RECORD; SUPPLEMENTAL
ADDENDUM ORDERED

KENNETH S. HIXSON, Judge

Appellant Ramon Perez was convicted in a jury trial of three counts of rape, one count

of second-degree sexual assault, and one count of aggravated assault on a family or household

member. For those convictions, Mr. Perez was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. For

reversal, Mr. Perez argues that the trial court erred in admitting a videotaped forensic

interview with the alleged victim, which he asserts was inadmissible hearsay and deprived him

of the opportunity to effectively impeach the alleged victim with her prior inconsistent

statements. We remand for the record to be supplemented, and we order appellant to file a

supplemental addendum.

This court has stated that if anything material to either party is omitted from the record

by error or accident, we may direct that the omission be corrected and that a supplemental

6(e) (as made applicable to criminal cases by Ark. R. App. P.–Crim. 4(a)). Our review of the

record reveals that the jury-verdict forms are not contained therein. Accordingly, we remand

this case to the trial court to supplement the record with the jury-verdict forms. See Williams

v. State,

2011 Ark. 389

. Appellant has thirty days from the date of this opinion to file a

supplemental record with this court.

       In addition, pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i), in a case where

there was a jury trial, the jury-verdict forms must be included in the addendum. Because the

jury-verdict forms are not contained in appellant’s addendum, we order appellant to correct

this deficiency by filing a supplemental addendum within seven days after the supplemental

record has been filed. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(4).

       Remanded to supplement the record; supplemental addendum ordered.
