The Mississippi Supreme Court handed down just one opinion today in a direct criminal appeal. Since I had a 1:30 p.m. hearing today, I welcome the reprieve from volume.
Sheely v. State, 2023-KA-00493-SCT (Criminal – Felony)
Affirming conviction of possession of more than 0.1 gram but less than 2 grams of meth, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the verdict and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant’s proposed broken chain of custody instruction because the defendant did not overcome the presumption of regularity.
(9-0)
Other Orders
- Hutto v. State, 2017-DR-01207-SCT (denying motion for leave to file successive petition for PCR)
- Harper v. State, 2022-CT-00659-SCT (denying cert)
