James McCoy v. State of Mississippi

WALLER, Chief Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. James McCoy appeals his convictions and sentences in the Union County Circuit Court for two counts of armed robbery. McCoy’s appellate counsel argues that McCoy’s sentences are excessive and the result of vindictiveness, that McCoy was denied a fair trial due to the prosecutor’s use of the golden-rule argument, and that McCoy received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. McCoy has filed a pro se supplemental brief, raising four additional assignments of error. Finding no reversible error, we affirm McCoy’s convictions and sentences.
