Boyd v. State green
miss · 1981

1994This Court can say that taking the evidence of his unlawful arrest in the light most favorable to Bogan, who requested Instruction D-3, and considering all reasonable favorable inferences which we might draw from that evidence in Bogan's favor, "no hypothetical reasonable jury could find the facts [that Agent George did not twice order Bogan to stop] in accordance with the theory of the requested instruction[, which was that George had no probable cause to arrest Bogan]." Bogan relies on Boyd v. State, 406 So. 2d 824 (Miss. 1981), which he argues is indistinguishable from the case sub judice.
