Berry v. State

KING, C.J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Johnny Berry was convicted by the Lowndes County Circuit Court of uttering forgery. Convicted as an habitual offender, Berry was sentenced to life imprisonment. Aggrieved by his conviction and sentence, Berry appeals and raises the following issues: (1) whether the trial court improperly allowed an amendment of the indictment to charge habitual status; (2) whether his sentence of life was disproportional to the crime of uttering forgery; and (3) whether the jury’s verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence.

¶ 2. Finding no error, this Court affirms.
