SYKES v. STATE

No. 91-KP-1030.

624 So.2d 500 (1993)

Ronald SYKES v. STATE of Mississippi.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

September 23, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ronald Sykes, pro se.

Michael C. Moore, Atty. Gen., John R. Henry, Jr., Sp. Asst. Atty. Gen., Jackson, for appellee.

Before HAWKINS, C.J., and PITTMAN and BANKS, JJ.


BANKS, Justice, for the court:

This case presents the question whether the failure to advise the accused of the minimum sentence as provided in the Uniform Criminal Rules of Circuit Court Practice is fatal, regardless of circumstances. We hold that it is not and that it was not fatal under the circumstances here at issue. We also reject Sykes' other claims and affirm the judgment of the trial court denying post-conviction relief.
