Heading Rank: 2

Heading: Did the lower court err in allowing the confession to be taken into the jury room?

Text: Attorneys for appellant objected to the confession being submitted to the jury and carried into the jury room with them, although no ground was stated for the objection. Mississippi Code Annotated § 99-17-37 (1972) provides: All papers read in evidence on the trial of any cause may be carried from the bar by the jury. Uniform Criminal Rules of Circuit Court Practice 5.13, in part, provides: The Court shall permit the jury, upon retiring for deliberation, to take to the jury room a copy of the instructions and exhibits and writings which have been received in evidence, except depositions. (Emphasis added) We are of the opinion that there is no merit in this sub-assignment. There being no reversible errors in the trial below, the judgment of the lower court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. WALKER, C.J., HAWKINS, P.J., and DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN, ANDERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
