Katherine Harris a/k/a Katherine Lynette Harris a/k/a Katherine Lynnshae Harris v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court affirmed Harris's aggravated-DUI conviction and sentence. It held that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying funds for defense toxicology and accident-reconstruction experts because Harris offered only broad, theoretical assertions and could not explain how the experts would assist her defense. Although the court viewed the restrictions imposed by the motion in limine as premature and overly broad, it found no reversible error because Harris was not prevented from presenting evidence, examining witnesses, or making specific arguments.
