Case Savion Winters v. State of Mississippi Court Mississippi Supreme Court (En Banc) Date Decided June 4, 2026 Docket No.
The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed first-degree murder and aggravated assault convictions for a drive-by shooting, holding that a combined self-defense and accident-and-misfortune jury instruction was not plain error where the defendant argued self-defense at trial, explicitly agreed to the instruction three times, and the instruction expanded—rather than restricted—the jury’s basis for acquittal.
The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed convictions for felon-in-possession and possession of a stolen firearm, holding that constructive possession was proven by the owner-occupant presumption and the defendant’s own statements, that shared gang membership is admissible under MRE 616 to show a defense witness’s bias, and that a cellphone-location officer with ten years’ experience and 1,000+ extractions was properly qualified as an expert under MRE 702.
