“In Alexander v. State, 610 So.2d 320 (Miss.1992), [the Supreme Court] set out those limits: `This is essentially a fact-finding function.' So long as the court applies the correct legal standards, `we will not overturn a finding of fact made by a trial judge unless it be clearly erroneous [or contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence].'”
