Heading: Whether Parker Is Entitled to Relief Based on Cumulative Error.

Text: ¶ 50. In this assignment of error, Parker argues individual errors occurred that, when considered cumulatively, denied him the right to a fair and impartial trial. In cases where this Court finds harmless error or error that is not reversible in and of itself, the Court has the discretion to determine on a case-by-case basis whether the errors require reversal due to the resulting cumulative prejudicial effect. Byrom v. State, 863 So.2d 836, 847 (Miss. 2003). However, if there is no reversible error in any part, so there is no reversible error to the whole. Duncan v. State, 939 So.2d 772, 784 (Miss.2006) (citing McFee v. State, 511 So.2d 130, 139 (Miss.1987)). ¶ 51. Parker avers that the cumulative effect of the alleged errors at trial prejudiced his case and deprived him of his fundamental right to a fair trial. The issues addressed previously, however, do not rise to the level of reversible error, either standing alone or when considered as a whole. Therefore, this assignment of error is without merit.
