Moffett v. Mississippi
Annotate this Case
Eric Moffett was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death by a jury. Moffett was convicted of a savage sexual assault on a five-year-old girl, resulting in her death. Moffett’s conviction and sentence were affirmed by the Supreme Court on direct appeal, and his motion for rehearing was subsequently denied. Moffett presented a motion, an amended motion, and a supplemental motion seeking post-conviction relief. Moffett's argument to the Supreme Court was focused primarily on ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims, but finding to merit to any of them, the Supreme Court denied relief.
