Johnny Lee House, Jr. a/k/a Johnny House, Jr. a/k/a Johnny House v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court affirmed House’s convictions for manslaughter and aggravated assault. It held that the aggravated-assault evidence was sufficient because House’s deliberate shooting into a large crowd proximately caused the victim’s injury, even though House’s bullet need not have been the one that struck her. The court also upheld the restriction on undisclosed defense testimony and concluded that the challenged aiding-and-abetting instruction did not affect the verdict.
