Taylor v. State

Mississippi Supreme Court

Decided October 10, 1984

Mississippi Supreme Court · decided 1984-10-10

Decided 1984-10-10

HAWKINS, Justice, for the Court:

¶1James Curtis Taylor appeals from his conviction of the crime of rape in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial District of Bolivar County and sentence to 35 years. We affirm.

¶2On the sufficiency of the evidence, Taylor claimed to have been elsewhere. There was ample evidence to prove a rape, and Taylor’s guilt.

¶3The other two assignments of error, namely: admission of testimony of a State Crime Laboratory employee as an expert, and refusal to permit the jury to inspect Taylor’s automobile, are likewise without merit.

¶4Finding no error, we affirm.

¶5AFFIRMED.
