White v. Stategreen2 sentences2020White, 59 So. 3d at 636 (¶¶11-12). 2011“The successive-writ bar does not apply where a PCR movant shows ‘he has evidence, not reasonably discoverable at the time of trial, which is of such nature that it would be practically conclusive that, if it had been introduced at trial, it would have caused a different result in the conviction or sentence.’ ” White, 59 So.3d at 635 (¶ 9) (quoting Miss.Code Ann. § 99-39-23(6)). | 4 | 4 |
Rowland v. Statered2 sentences2015Several exceptions exist to the successive-writ bar, including claims of newly discovered evidence under section 99-39-23(6) and “errors affecting fundamental constitutional rights[.]” Smith v. State, 149 So.3d 1027, 1031-32 (¶¶ 8-11) (Miss.2014) (quoting Rowland, 42 So.3d at 507 (¶ 12)) (holding that constitutional claims are excepted from the successive-writ bar and the common-law doctrine of res judicata). 2014Accordingly, Riley reasons that he is entitled to raise this issue repeatedly and perpetually based on the Mississippi Supreme Court’s decision in Rowland v. State, 42 So.3d 503, 506 (¶ 9) (Miss.2010), in which the supreme court stated that “errors affecting fundamental constitutional rights are excepted from the procedural bars of the UPCCRA.” In other words, Riley argues that neither the time-bar 1 nor the successive-writ bar applies to an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim. ¶ 8. | 4 | 4 |
