Heading Rank: 5

Heading: the state failed to prove a prima facie case as charged in the indictment.

Text: The jury is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. We are of the opinion that the facts of the case constitute an issue for the jury to determine as to the guilt or innocence of the appellant. In our opinion, the evidence supports the finding of guilty. Fairley v. State, 467 So.2d 894 (Miss. 1984). In Nelson v. State, 361 So.2d 343 (Miss. 1978), which is similar factually to the case at bar, the Court held that the State made out a prima facie case. Likewise, we are of the opinion that the facts constituted a question for the jury here. The assigned Errors IV and V are rejected. The judgment of the lower court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. HAWKINS and DAN M. LEE, JJ., and ROBERTSON, PRATHER, SULLIVAN, ANDERSON, GRIFFIN and ZUCCARO, JJ., concur.
