State of Tennessee v. Steve Barber, a.k.a. Vernon S. Barber

Case Number
E2001-00909-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant was convicted by a Sullivan County Criminal Court jury of driving under the influence, third offense, a Class A misdemeanor, and driving while license suspended, revoked, or cancelled, third offense, a Class B misdemeanor. On appeal to this court, he argues, inter alia, that the trial court erred in denying his request for a mistrial and in admitting expert testimony on breath alcohol testing devices. After a careful review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. However, we remand for entry of corrected judgment forms to reflect that the defendant's convictions resulted from jury verdicts, rather than guilty pleas.
