Heading: whether the jury verdict of capital murder was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence

Text: ¶ 59. Only in those cases where the verdict is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence that to allow it to stand would sanction an unconscionable injustice will this Court disturb it on appeal. Pleasant v. State, 701 So.2d 799, 802 (Miss. 1997) (citations omitted). ¶ 60. Nothing in the record supports Humphrey's contention that the verdict was so against the overwhelming weight of the evidence that to allow it to stand would constitute an unconscionable injustice. (See discussion of Humphrey's eleventh assignment of error regarding the evidence before the jury). Humphrey raises questions regarding the credibility of witness testimony, but it is well settled that issues of weight and credibility regarding witness testimony are to be resolved by the jury. Collier, 711 So.2d at 461.
