2008This Court held: "A due process violation requires that the party be deprived of a protected property interest." Mohundro [v. Alcorn County], 675 So.2d [848] at 852 ( citing Tucker v. Hinds County, 558 So.2d 869, 873 (Miss.1990)).

State, 118 So. 3d 118, 139 (¶60) (Miss. 2013) (quoting Manning v. State, 735 So. 2d 323, 345 (¶50) (Miss. 1999)).

2024The majority opinion clearly held “that destruction of evidence in bad faith is a requirement for a due process violation based on the State’s failure to preserve evidence.” Id. at 523 (¶13).

2019In State v. McGrone, 798 So. 2d 519, 523 (¶11) (Miss. 2001), the Mississippi Supreme Court held that the following was required in order to find a due process violation by the State in a perseveration of evidence case: (1) the evidence in question must possess an exculpatory value that was apparent before the evidence was destroyed; (2) the evidence must be of such a nature that the defendant would be unable to obtain comparable evidence by other reasonably available means; and (3) the prosecution’s destruction of the evidence must have been in bad faith.

"[A] criminal statute is unconstitutional under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment if it is so vague and uncertain that it does not inform those subject to it what acts it is their duty to avoid, or what conduct on their part will render them liable to its penalties.... `The test is whether the language conveys sufficiently definite warning as to the proscribed conduct when measured by common understanding and practices.'"

2020Rather, if such an 8 objection is raised, the trial judge must consider the evidence and the Biggers factors and make a preliminary finding of fact as to whether, “considering the totality of the circumstances,” the identification procedures created “a very substantial likelihood of misidentification.” Id. at 671-72 (¶¶8-9) (quoting Roche v. State, 913 So. 2d 306, 311 (¶14) (Miss. 2005)). “[A]n accused who seeks to exclude identification testimony based upon an alleged due process violation faces a very heavy burden.” Id. at 673 (¶15) (quoting York v.

2014In this respect, the case is analogous to Cabana v. Bullock, supra, where we specifically rejected a due process challenge based on Hicks [v. Oklahoma, 447 U.S. 848 , 100 S.Ct. 2227 , 65 L.Ed.2d 175 (1980) ] because state law created no entitlement to have a jury make findings that an appellate court also could make.
