Dekara Clanton a/k/a Dekara Alexander Clanton v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed Clanton's conviction for possessing methamphetamine. It held that admitting the photograph of money was error but harmless, while the marijuana evidence was properly admitted, the challenge to the officer's identification of the pills as ecstasy was procedurally barred, and the prosecutor's closing argument did not misstate the evidence. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient and that the verdict was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
