Lewis Jenkins v. State of Mississippi

ISHEE, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Lewis Jenkins was indicted for the crime of depraved-heart murder. The charge was subsequently reduced, and on July 29, 2004, Jenkins pled guilty to manslaughter. He was sentenced to twenty years — fifteen years to serve with five years suspended conditioned on post-release supervision — all in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC). On August 19, 2013, Jenkins filed a motion that was treated as a motion for post-conviction relief (PCR) and dismissed as time-barred. Aggrieved, Jenkins filed this appeal. Finding no error, we affirm.
