Man sentenced to 120 years for selling cocaine will receive re-sentencing

An Oktibbeha County man sentenced to 120 years in prison for selling cocaine will soon be re-sentenced.

Felix Wynn was convicted on two counts of selling cocaine in 2006.

He was sentenced in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court as a habitual offender.

Wynn’s attorney at the time argued before the state Supreme Court that the judge was under the impression that Wynn’s sentenced had to be doubled.

That’s why he was given 120 years and a $2  million.

State law said a judge “may” double the sentence.

Wynn’s current attorney, Roy Perkins, told WCBI the state’s high court has granted a re-sentencing for March 3rd.

Wynn asked for the court to sentence him to the 14 years he has already served. Perkins said he feels hopeful about a positive outcome.
