Jimmy David Williams a/k/a Jimmy D. Williams v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Williams's motion for a new trial after concluding that his sexual-battery conviction was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. Although the victim gave a later account involving multiple assailants, her immediate and near-immediate reports consistently identified Williams, and her testimony was corroborated by medical and DNA evidence. The conflicting accounts presented a credibility issue for the jury rather than grounds for disturbing the verdict.
