WILLIAMS v. STATE

No. 1999-KA-01423-COA.

766 So.2d 815 (2000)

Terry Allen WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Mississippi, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Mississippi.

September 12, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas L. Kesler, Columbus, Attorney for Appellant.

Office of the Attorney General by Glenn Watts, Attorney for Appellee.

BEFORE SOUTHWICK, P.J., BRIDGES, AND THOMAS, JJ.

SOUTHWICK, P.J., for the Court:

¶ 1. Terry Williams was found guilty by a Lowndes County Circuit Court jury of possession of cocaine. On the day of trial, the court allowed the State to amend the indictment to add a prior conviction as grounds for an enhanced penalty. Williams appeals, arguing that the indictment was amended to punish him for turning down a plea bargain. A uniform court rule explicitly permits such an amendment. We affirm.
