View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err in failing to suppress statements defendant gave to the police denying any involvement in the murder because the fact that defendant had a low I.Q. was only one factor to consider when determining if his statement was admissible and an expert testified that defendant was able to converse and reason with his attorney.

View this case - free  

Overview: In sublessee's action to cancel crop lien, chancellor erred in ruling that lien had been lost solely because landowner's counterclaim was brought against sublessee alone and without joinder of sublessors where it was necessary for chancellor to first determine whether there was failure to join bankrupt sublessors or whether joinder would be futile.

Moore v. State, NO. 2004-KA-00095-COA, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSISSIPPI, August 15, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Sufficient evidence existed to convict defendant of Miss. Code Ann. § 97-3-73 as the jury could infer felonious intent from the circumstances surrounding the crime, and the victim's own testimony under direct examination established that defendant used force to take and carry away the victim's property.

Neal v. State, NO. 2004-KA-00669-COA, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSISSIPPI, August 15, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the information did not sufficiently charge defendant with armed robbery under Miss. Code Ann. § 97-3-79, as it did not charge the overt act as the display of a weapon by another perpetrator and then the shooting of the victim, defendant's armed robbery conviction was reversed, but there was a sufficient charge of simple robbery.
