Jones v. State

2 Citing cases

  1. Luckett v. State

    989 So. 2d 995 (Miss. Ct. App. 2008)   Cited 3 times

    As previously stated, "[a] request for a directed verdict implicates the sufficiency of the evidence." Jones v. State, 872 So.2d 53, 56 (¶ 13) (Miss.Ct.App. 2003). Based on our review of the record, and giving the prosecution the benefit of all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from the evidence, it is obvious that the State failed to prove every element of embezzlement beyond a reasonable doubt.

  2. Grimes v. State

    2003 KA 1592 (Miss. Ct. App. 2005)   Cited 3 times
    Noting that a court has no duty to give a sua sponte cautionary accomplice instruction

    However, there exists no requirement that the trial court offer a sua sponte instruction on accomplice testimony. Jones v. State, 872 So.2d 53 (¶ 24) (Miss.Ct.App. 2003). In this case, the State's case is not totally dependent upon an accomplice.
