Edwards v. State
Court of Appeals of Mississippi
1DissentRoberts, J.
¶ 11. I dissent. Edwards claims in his motion for post — conviction relief that his post-release supervision was unlawfully revoked by the trial court. After close review of the record, I am inclined to agree. Because post-release supervision cannot be revoked for a violation that occurred before the prisoner was on post-release supervision status, and that is exactly what occurred in this case, I would reverse and render.
¶ 12. A time line of relevant events concerning Edwards unfortunate criminal history is helpful in understanding the determinative issue.
