3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gavin v. State · CH v. State“In Williams v. State, 229 Ark. 42 , 313 S.W.2d 242 (1958), we recognized that: The great weight of authority supports the rule that when a valid sentence has been put into execution, the trial court cannot modify, amend, or revise it in any way either during or after the term or session of the court at which the sentence was pronounced; any attempt to do so is of no effect and the original sentence remains. We reiterated this rule in the recent cases of Cooper v. State, 278 Ark. 394 , 645 S.W.2d 950 (1983); and Hunter v. State, 278 Ark. 428 , 645 S.W.2d 954 (1983), where we said that, "Once a valid sentence is put into execution the trial court is without jurisdiction to modify, amend or revise it." To the same effect are Shipman v. State, 261 Ark. 559 , 550 S.W.2d 424 (1977); and Emerson v. Boyles, 170 Ark. 621 , 280 S.W. 1005 (1926). In Emerson we recognized "the rule, well established, that where the defendant has entered upon the execution of a valid sentence, the court loses jurisdiction over the case."”
