NEWBERRY v. STATE

No. 2012-KA-01910-SCT.

145 So.3d 652 (2014)

Weissenger NEWBERRY, III a/k/a Weissenger Newberry v. STATE of Mississippi.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

August 21, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wanda Abioto , attorney for appellant.

Office of the Attorney General by Jeffrey A. Klingfuss , attorney for appellee.

Before WALLER, C.J., CHANDLER and KING, JJ.

CHANDLER, Justice, for the Court:

¶ 1. On appeal of Weissenger Newberry's felony convictions, we reverse and remand for a new trial due to the trial court's and counsel's failure to comply with Mississippi Rule of Appellate Procedure 46 governing the admission of foreign attorneys to practice pro hac vice. Most significantly, the trial court erred in waiving the now-mandatory requirement that associated local counsel be present at trial.
