Blake v. Wilson, NO. 2006-CA-00780-COA, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSISSIPPI, April 17, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the county attorneys and a sheriff were enforcing a facially valid Virginia custody order, it arose out of a judicial action and was a police protection matter, thus, immunity under Miss.

Bridges v. State, NO. 2006-CP-00110-COA, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSISSIPPI, April 17, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Post-conviction relief was denied where an inmate pled guilty to a drug charge because the trial court informed him of the consequences of the plea, despite an attorney's prediction that he would receive less time. Moreover, a 34-year sentence was not disproportionate since it was within the limits of Miss. Code Ann. §§ 41-29-313, 41-29-147.

Code Ann. § 63-7-13.
