Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Mississippi Supreme Court will not be handing down any opinions today. But I did not want to leave you empty-handed so here is a throwback opinion suitable for the season.
Revette v. State, 48 So. 2d 511 (Miss. 1950)
Reversing the circuit court in favor of the defendant accused of the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquors, holding that the “beaten path doctrine” did not apply where the beaten path at issue led from the defendant’s turkey pen to a wooded area where a one-gallon keg of whiskey was found but did not terminate at or near the whiskey.
Many thanks to all who have visited this blog on occasion! I truly appreciate the interest and the encouragement I have received in this endeavor.
