Bowser v. Mississippi
Annotate this CaseIra Bowser admitted to killing Shabree Page at their apartment in 2012. The question at trial was whether Bowser’s actions were a product of deliberate design murder, second degree murder, heat of passion manslaughter, or self-defense. The jury returned a verdict of deliberate design murder, and the trial court sentenced Bowser, as a habitual offender, to life in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. On appeal, Bowser challenged the weight and sufficiency of the evidence. After review, the Supreme Court found sufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict of murder and that the jury’s verdict was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
