BREAKING - MSSC says house burglary NOT a per se crime of violence

In the case of Mark Kee Brown v. State, the Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled this afternoon that for purposes of the habitual offender statute, house burglary is not a crime of violence.  For the purposes of plea negotiations and determining whether or not a trial is worth the risk, this is a big development in Mississippi criminal law.  Congratulations to Hunter Aikens and Leslie Lee of the State Defender's Office for winning this victory!
