LAMAR, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Rico Veazy and Brandon Mosley were convicted of armed robbery and were sentenced to eight years and ten years, respectively, in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) after being tried together in the Bolivar County Circuit Court. The robbery involved a Mustang vehicle belonging to Veazy but undergoing repairs by mechanic Jimmy Smith, who maintained that the vehicle was taken from his automobile repair shop at gunpoint. Finding no merit in any of the defendants’ issues, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
