Jairus Collins v. State of Mississippi

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI

KING, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Jairus Collins was convicted of murdering Ebony Jenkins. He appealed, alleging several points of error, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. Finding that Collins’s statement to police should have been suppressed and that, one of the State’s witnesses should have been qualified as an expert prior to giving opinion testimony regarding the locations of Collins’s and Jenkins’s cellular phones, we reverse the judgments of the Court of Appeals and the Forrest County Circuit Court and remand the case for further proceedings.
