Heading: was the jury verdict of guilty against the overwhelming weight of the evidence and contrary to law?

Text: The verdict of the jury on these two charges was not contrary to law as we have pointed out above. It is well established that on such an evidentiary assignment this Court must accept as true all the evidence which supports the state's position, together with all inferences reasonably flowing therefrom in the light most favorable to the state's theory of the case. Holliday v. State, 455 So.2d 750 (Miss. 1984); Redwine v. State, 149 Miss. 741, 115 So. 889 (1928); and numerous other citations unnecessary to repeat here. There is no merit to this assignment of error. We, therefore, find no error in this record on the trial of the consolidated causes for kidnapping and attempted unnatural intercourse. We affirm both convictions and the sentence of fifteen years to the Mississippi Department of Corrections for kidnapping, and the sentence of five years to the Mississippi Department of Corrections on attempted unnatural intercourse to run consecutive with the sentence imposed for kidnapping. AFFIRMED. PATTERSON, C.J., WALKER and ROY NOBLE LEE, P.JJ., and HAWKINS, DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.
