McNair v. State

Court of Appeals of Mississippi

Decided March 25, 2014No. 2012-KA-00856-COAPublished

1Opinion of the Court

JAMES, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Rumond McNair was found guilty of forcible rape, and sentenced to thirty-five years of incarceration. McNair filed a pretrial motion to offer additional evidence, and the trial court denied his motion. McNair now appeals raising the following issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in prohibiting McNair from entering additional evidence; (2) whether McNair had ineffective assistance of counsel; and (3) whether the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to convict McNair beyond a reasonable doubt. We find the issues raised to be without merit, and affirm.
