Mississippi Supreme Court February 3, 2011, No. 2008-CT-00844-SCT (Williams v. State)

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI

PIERCE, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Harvey “Smokie” Williams, Jr., shot and killed Calvin Younger in the parking lot at Jay’s Lounge in Jackson, allegedly in self-defense. At trial, he called a bouncer, Anthony Herrington, to testify that Younger had possessed a firearm earlier that night. That testimony was excluded because it was not disclosed in discovery.
