LEE, C.J.,

for the Court:

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

¶ 1. Eddie James Pugh IV was convicted by a jury in the Jackson County Circuit Court of Count I, capital murder; Count II, aggravated assault; and Count III, third-degree arson. Pugh was sentenced to serve life for the capital-murder conviction, twenty years for the aggravated-assault conviction, and three years for the third-degree arson conviction. All three sentences were ordered to run consecutively and to be served in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Pugh subsequently filed post-trial motions, which the trial court denied.
