Gilbert v. State

CARLSON, Presiding Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. John Gilbert, Jr. was convicted of aggravated assault stemming from an incident between him and Alice Stapleton. Gilbert was sentenced as a habitual offender to life in prison without parole under Mississippi Code Section 99-19-83 (Rev. 2007).

Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the Circuit Court of Coahoma County.
