Williams v. Mississippi
Annotate this CaseAfter review of the facts of this case, the Mississippi Supreme Court concluded that Dillon Williams waived his right to sentencing by jury when he pled guilty to burglary and aggravated assault. For those crimes, a circuit court sentenced him to twenty years for the assault, and twenty-five years for the burglary. The trial court added a twenty-year enhancement to the assault charge because Williams’ victim was an elderly woman. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court that denied Williams’s request for post-conviction relief, and affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals that affirmed the trial court.
