Keith Coleman, Jr. a/k/a K2 v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court affirmed Coleman’s two murder convictions after concluding that the verdict was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. Viewing the evidence favorably to the verdict, the court held that the jury was entitled to resolve conflicting testimony, assess witness credibility, and accept the State’s account of Coleman’s role in the killings. The court also concluded that the absence of additional physical evidence did not undermine the convictions because substantial testimonial evidence supported them.
