Mississippi Supreme Court

Ronald Owens a/k/a Do It v. State of Mississippi

March 28, 2024

Summary

The Court affirmed Owens’s burglary conviction and the denial of his motion for a new trial. Applying the abuse-of-discretion standard, it held that the verdict was not contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence because the surveillance footage, the identification evidence, and the marked stock bottle supported reasonable inferences linking Owens to the burglary.
