1. “A review under the plain[-]error doctrine is necessary when a party’s fundamental rights are affected, and the error results in a manifest miscarriage of justice. Williams v. State, 794 So.2d 181 , [187] [ (¶ 23) ] (Miss.2001) [ (overruled on other grounds) ]. To determine if plain error has occurred, we must determine “if the trial court has deviated from a legal rule, whether that error is plain, clear or obvious, and whether the error has prejudiced the outcome of the trial.” Cox v. State, 793 So.2d 591, 597 [ (¶ 22) ] (Miss.2001).”

3. “The other reason — and it had nothing to do with Mr. Washington’s race — it’s that he’s a male. And I don’t know if gender is discrimination or something, but Ms. Deandrea is a female, so between the two, a female or a male, I would rather have a female, you know, taking criminal convictions, if that family member have [sic] criminal convictions.”
