Dwaliues Deon Carter v. State of Mississippi

GREENLEE, J.,

for the court:

¶ 1. Dwaliues Carter was convicted on two counts of capital murder with the underlying felony of robbery, one count of house burglary, one count of conspiracy to commit house burglary, and one count of felony child neglect. He received two life sentences without parole for the murders, twenty-five years for the burglary, five years for conspiracy, and five years for felony child neglect. On direct appeal, Carter argues that the trial court erred in allowing the State to introduce bad-act evidence via hearsay, that the State failed to prove “substantial harm”…
