Mississippi Supreme Court

Charles Ray Crawford a/k/a Chuck Crawford a/k/a Charles Crawford v. State of Mississippi

September 18, 2025

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court granted the State’s motion to dismiss and dismissed Charles Ray Crawford’s third petition for post‑conviction relief, finding all of his claims barred by the one‑year filing deadline, the successive‑writ bar, and a lack of retroactive effect from McCoy v. Louisiana, and concluding he failed to make a substantial showing of a denied right.
