“[i]t is axiomatic that a jury's verdict may not stand upon uncontradicted fact alone. The fact must be found via jury instructions correctly identifying the elements of the offense under the proper standards.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Court instructs the Jury that if you find beyond a reasonable doubt that ROOSEVELT DEXTER ARMSTEAD, on or about the date testified about, did unlawfully, wilfully, feloniously and forcibly attempt to rape and ravish Sharon E. Perkins, a female human being over the age of fourteen (14) years, by ripping the nightgown off Sharon E. Perkins after having thrown her onto a couch and attempted to straddle her, against the will and without the consent of the said Sharon E. Perkins, then it is your sworn duty to find the defendant guilty of attempted rape as charged in Count Two of the Indictment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“The Court instructs the Jury that if you believe from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about August 23, 1994, in Jackson County, Mississippi, the defendant committed an aggravated assault in and upon the body of Kevin Bickham with a certain deadly weapon, to wit: a shotgun, without provocation, or without threat of great bodily harm to himself, then it will be your sworn duty to find the defendant guilty as charged. If the State has failed to meet its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt then you shall find the defendant not guilty.”
