Assuming the matter before the Arkansas trial court involves federal or constitutional law (rather than a state statute) and is analogous to a decision of the US Supreme Court, they are supposed to abide by Supreme Court decisions under the doctrine of stare decisis.
If they fail to adhere to established interpretations of law, they are handing the defendant or respondent valid grounds for appealing his or her case.
Yes.
