Cole v. Mississippi

John Cole was convicted by jury for possession of less than thirty grams of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was sentenced as a habitual offender. As a result, Cole was sentenced to serve three years for the marijuana-related charge, and ten years for the possession of the firearm; the sentences were ordered to run consecutively. Cole filed post-trial motions, all of which were denied. On appeal, Cole challenged the sufficiency of the evidence presented against him. Finding no error, the Mississippi Sipreme Court affirmed his conviction. View "Cole v. Mississippi" on Justia Law
