SUMMARY: A Mississippi judge sentenced Phillip Collins to life in prison for the murder of James Higgins, which occurred during a drunken rage nearly three years prior.

Police identified Collins as a suspect after he was the last person seen with Higgins and lied about his whereabouts. Despite Collins' claim of self-defense, the Gulfport Police Department's investigation led to his confession. Judge Lisa Dodson condemned Collins for his actions and the trauma caused to Higgins' daughter before he was taken into custody.
