APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS SHAW MAN'S DRUG CONVICTION
The Mississippi Court of Appeals today upheld the 60-year with no
parole sentence of a man convicted in Madison County of possession
with intent to distribute marijuana.
Keith Baskin, 33, of Shaw was convicted by a Madison County jury in
March 2006 and sentenced in May by Circuit Judge Samac Richardson.
Baskin was sentenced as a habitual offender after it was determined
he had two previous criminal convictions. The indictment was amended
after his conviction on the marijuana charge to reflect he was a
habitual offender.
