Hall v. Mississippi
Annotate this CaseJason Hall appealed a circuit court order dismissing his petition for statutory compensation under Mississippi’s Compensation Act for Wrongful Conviction and Imprisonment. After review of the particular facts of this case, the Supreme Court found the circuit court erred in finding Hall had failed to establish his innocence as required by Mississippi Code Section 11-44-7(1)(b) because the Order Passing to Inactive Files was neither a dismissal nor a nolle prosequi pursuant to Section 11-44-3(c). Accordingly, the Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s judgment and remanded the matter for further proceedings.
