Triste v. State

BARNES, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. After Jamie Triste pleaded guilty to burglary of a dwelling, the Circuit Court of Itawamba County sentenced her to twenty-five years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC), with nineteen years suspended and five years of post-release supervision. Triste filed a motion for post-conviction relief, claiming that her twenty-five year sentence was illegal as it exceeded the maximum sentence allowed by law. The circuit court denied Triste’s motion, and she now appeals. Finding no error, we affirm.
