Court of Appeals of Mississippi May 29, 2012, No. 2011-KA-00361-COA (Austin v. State)

RUSSELL, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Thomas Austin appeals the Lowndes County Circuit Court’s denial of his motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) or a new trial. He argues the circuit court erred in finding that the evidence was sufficient to support his conviction of felon in possession of a weapon under Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-37-5 (Supp.2011).
