Heading: whether the cumulative errors at trial and in the appeal process constitute a violation of gary's right to a fair trial

Text: ¶ 47. Gary argues on appeal that the accumulation of errors in the trial, if not taken as error sufficient to reverse and remand for a new trial individually, are sufficient to reverse and remand if taken as a whole. Gary cites to Jenkins v. State, 607 So.2d 1171, 1183 (Miss.1992), wherein we stated, This Court has often ruled that errors in the lower court that do not require reversal standing alone may nonetheless taken cumulatively require reversal. ¶ 48. Although we vacate in part and remand for resentencing, the remaining assertions made by Gary are not of such significance as to have denied Gary a fundamentally fair trial. This is not a case requiring reversal on the ground that the cumulative effect of all errors deprived the defendant of a fair trial. Accordingly, we find this issue to be without merit.
