    142 So. 3d 1091 (Miss. 2014)   Cited 3 times

    The trial court denied post-conviction relief, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. This Court granted Yeatman's petition for a writ of certiorari. Yeatman v. State, 90 So.3d 1239, 1243 (Miss.2012). Because, by statute, the fine for simple assault on a law-enforcement officer is a maximum of $1,000, the Court vacated the $5,000 fine imposed on Yeatman for that crime.
