|||||
Overview: Circuit court did not err in dismissing motion for post-conviction relief in aggravated assault case because three-year statute of limitations of Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-5(2) applied to appellant's post-conviction relief claims based on ineffective assistance of counsel and involuntariness of guilty pleas, and the claims were clearly time-barred.

COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSISSIPPI, March 7, 2006, Decided

|||||
Overview: Trial court did not err by allowing the prosecutor to amend the indictment to reflect defendant's status as an habitual offender under Miss. Unif. Cir. & Cty. R. 7.09 as the amendment did not affect the substance of the crime charged, but only the sentencing; thus, defendant's defense to the armed robbery charge was unaffected by the amendment.

|||||
Overview: Post-conviction relief was properly denied in a case where appellant pled guilty to sale of cocaine because his guilty plea was voluntary, as appellant stated that he was entering his plea freely, voluntarily, and of his own accord, and there was nothing in the record to overcome presumption that appellant received effective assistance of counsel.

Overview: In a driver's suit against the estate of a decedent, who did not survive the parties' car accident, the trial court did not err in issuing a net judgment rather than two separate judgments where the driver was found 75 percent negligent and the decedent was found 25 percent negligent as the driver was not insured.

|||||
Overview: In a manslaughter case, defendant failed to show that his counsel was ineffective for failing to discover evidence of his schizophrenia as defendant clearly told the trial court that he was not under any treatment for any mental conditions, and his self-serving affidavit on appeal that he was suffering from mental problems was not believable.
