Mississippi Supreme Court

Daryl Lamont Redd a/k/a D-Bo v. State of Mississippi

July 27, 2023

Summary

The court affirmed Redd’s aggravated-assault conviction and sentence, holding that sufficient evidence supported the finding that he purposely or knowingly shot Stevenson with a deadly weapon and that the verdict was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. The court also rejected Redd’s challenges concerning unruled objections, closing argument, and the racial composition of the jury venire, concluding that the evidentiary objections were waived or harmless, the challenged argument was supported by the evidence, and the venire claim was procedurally barred and unsupported by the record.
