Wilson v. State7/27/2004
, 778 (Miss. 1993). The court will reverse only when reasonable and fair-minded jurors could find the accused not guilty. Wetz v. State, 503 So. 2d 803, 808 (Miss. 1987). Furthermore, it is within the discretion of the jury to accept or reject testimony by a witness, and the jury "may give consideration to all inferences flowing from the testimony." Mangum v. State, 762 So. 2d 337 ( ) (Miss. 2000) (quoting Grooms v. State, 357 So. 2d 292, 295 (Miss. 1978)).
. Agent Peterson testified that it was Wilson who handed him the cocaine in exchange for one hundred dollars. Audio and video tapes of the transaction were admitted into evidence for the jury to hear and see. Peterson also identified Wilson at a photographic line-up eleven days after the drug transaction. In reviewing the record, we cannot find that there was insufficient evidence to support the guilty verdict. Furthermore, the jury found Peterson to be a credible witness and believed his version of the events. This issue is without merit.
. THE JUDGMENT OF THE LAUDERDALE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT OF CONVICTION OF SALE OF COCAINE AND SENTENCE OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE CUSTODY OF THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND FINE OF $5,000, IS AFFIRMED. COSTS OF THIS APPEAL ARE TAXED TO LAUDERDALE COUNTY.
KING, C.J., BRIDGES AND SOUTHWICK, P.JJ., IRVING, MYERS, CHANDLER AND GRIFFIS, JJ., CONCUR.
