Forrest v. Stategreen
miss · 1976 · cited in 1 Mississippi opinions naming this issue, 2001–2001
1 sentence

2001The Court in Forrest v. State, 335 So.2d 900, 903 (Miss.1976), stated that "harmless error" is present only when "it is apparent on the face of the record that a fair minded jury could have arrived at no verdict other than that of guilty [even if the error were rectified]." Based on these precedents, this Court finds that even if the sua sponte instruction were given, the jury would still have found the defendant guilty.
