Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed former U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland of Little Rock to the Arkansas Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Robin Wynne until 2025, the governor announced Monday.
Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Robin Wynne, who fended off an election challenge for the nonpartisan position last year from a candidate endorsed by the state Republican Party, died Wednesday night at age 70, a state official confirmed Thursday. A cause of death was not disclosed.
