Durham v. State

BARNES, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Jim Durham (Durham) was convicted by a Forrest County Circuit Court jury on four counts of writing bad checks with fraudulent intent in violation of Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-19-55(l)(a) (Rev.2006). He was sentenced to three years in Counts I-IV, all in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC), with the three years on Count Four suspended and ordered to be served under post-release supervision. Durham appeals his conviction, and finding error, we reverse the circuit court’s judgment and remand for a new trial.
