Description

On this appeal we are asked to consider and apply the relevancy provisions of the Mississippi Rules of Evidence which became effective on January 1, 1986. In the context of a prosecution for attempted kidnapping of a grocery store patron as he was entering his car in the parking area, the trial judge overruled timely objection to evidence of the defendants planned but foiled robbery of the grocery store. Because this was evidence which had a tendency to prove the accuseds motive, opportunity and intent at the time and on the occasion in question, it was admissible. We affirm.
