Joshua Demien Magee v. Mississippi

Whether the Mississippi Supreme Court may ignore the ex post facto clause by applying new decision rendered in Howell v. State, 358 So. 3d 613, 615-16 (Miss. 2023) to change the procedural standards in effect at the time MaGee was convicted of such crime, was sentenced for crime, and when his direct appeal was affirmed by Mississippi Supreme Court, where new decision circumvents MaGee's ability to seek collateral relief from a sentence in which MaGee has no hope of ever fully completing under Mississippi law.

Whether Joshua MaGee’s claims that the indictment was defective for failing to inform him that § 97-3-2 classifies his offenses as violent crimes and also whether claims that § 97-3-2’s omission from the indictment affected his sentences, resulted in equal-protection and due process violations. Miss. Code Ann. Sec. 97-3-2 (2014).
