1. “On the evening of September 2, 2001, a person came to the Bolles's residence. Anita Bolles answered the door, and the man at the door asked to speak with her brother, Clarence "Brian" Bolles, Jr. After hearing the doorbell ring, Brian proceeded to go answer the door, not knowing that his sister had already answered it. When Brian reached the door, the visitor pulled out a gun and began shooting. Brian suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen, while Anita escaped unharmed. Anita Bolles was able to pick out her brother's assailant from a police photographic line-up. She identified [Phelan Terrell] Guice as the person who came to their house on the evening of September 2, 2001, and shot her brother. At trial, Guice testified that he did not shoot Brian. He also testified that he was at his grandmother's house in Yazoo City on the evening of the incident. Guice further testified that there were no witnesses who could substantiate his claim that he was out of town when the incident occurred.”

2. “even though a clear violation of section 99-17-1 occurred, we hold, based on the authority of Walton v. State . . . that Guice waived his right to complain about the denial of his statutory right to a speedy trial because he did not assert his right to a speedy trial until well after the deadline has passed.”
