The Mississippi Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Vicksburg man sentenced to life in prison for the 2008 shooting death of his Meadowvale Drive neighbor.

Eric Davis, 37, was convicted in November 2009 of murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Jurors found him guilty of killing Devon Moore, who was 23 and lived at 106 Meadowvale Drive. Prosecutors said the two had a property-line dispute.

Davis had appealed the verdict in 2010, claiming presiding Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick erred in certain evidence he allowed and did not allow into the trial.

Appeals court justices reviewed testimony and jury instructions and unanimously upheld the conviction and sentencing.

Davis is currently incarcerated at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville.
