State of Tennessee v. Colico S. Walls

A Shelby County jury convicted the defendant of felony escape and theft of property over $1,000.  The trial court sentenced the defendant to consecutive sentences of four years for escape and seven years for theft, for an effective sentence of eleven years. In this appeal, the defendant alleges (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the defendant's conviction for escape; (2) the escape statute is unconstitutionally vague; and (3) the trial court erroneously failed to instruct the jury on attempted
escape. The defendant does not challenge his theft conviction. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
