Heading: Certain testimony by Brown's wife disallowed.

Text: ¶ 54. Brown argues that the trial judge erred in not allowing his wife, Angela Brown, to testify concerning purported statements by James Coleman Jones that would have explained his flight, i.e., that Boyd's relatives had threatened to kill him. This issue was raised and rejected on direct appeal. This Court found that the alleged statements were made after the flight and ruled even assuming that the statement was admissible to show Brown's state of mind, he has not made any showing that he was prejudice by its exclusion. Cole v. State, 525 So.2d 365, 373 (Miss. 1987). 690 So.2d at 292. This issue is procedurally barred from further review pursuant to Miss.Code Ann. § 99-39-21(2).
