State, 465 So.2d 294, 301 (Miss. 1984), this Court held: Under our established case law, the trial judge should set aside a jury's verdict only when, in the exercise of his sound discretion he is convinced that the verdict is contrary to the substantial weight of the evidence. May v. State, 460 So.2d 778, 781 (Miss. 1984). Burt, at 1328.”
