Hunt v. State

ROBERTS, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Kenneth Dewayne Hunt was convicted in the Lowndes County Circuit Court on May 18, 2010, of statutory rape. Hunt was sentenced to twenty-five years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC). Aggrieved, Hunt appeals, arguing that: (1) a witness for the State improperly testified about Hunt’s post-arrest silence; (2) a witness for the State improperly testified about a youth court adjudication of the victim; and (3) the jury’s verdict is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. Finding no error, we affirm.
