Heading: whether the alleged errors taken together are cause for post-conviction relief.

Text: ¶ 46. This Court has recognized that several errors taken together may warrant reversal even though when taken separately they do not. Flowers v. State, 773 So.2d 309, 334 (Miss.2000). This Court has recently clarified and reaffirmed this principle in Byrom v. State, 863 So.2d 836, 847 (Miss.2004), in which we stated that upon appellate review of cases in which we find... any error which is not specifically found to be reversible in and of itself, we shall have the discretion to determine, on a case-by-case basis as to whether such error or errors ... may when considered cumulatively require reversal because of the resulting cumulative prejudicial effect. We find that only one issue (the Atkins claim) warrants an evidentiary hearing. However, we find no other alleged errors that warrant post-conviction relief.
