Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the denial of post-conviction relief on Corrothers’s claim that a juror improperly communicated with the victim’s family and was biased. The Court held that the trial judge admitted and considered the testimony of Corrothers’s mother and cousin but permissibly found them not credible, and that Corrothers offered no corroborating evidence. The Court also rejected claims involving compulsory process, counsel’s ability to investigate, the timing of the alleged communication, and the denial of additional juror interviews.
