State of Tennessee v. Lavaya Demond Lee

Case Number
E2001-00053-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, Lavaya Demond Lee, appeals from his jury convictions of premeditated first-degree murder, first-degree felony murder, and especially aggravated robbery in the Hamilton County Criminal Court. He received a life sentence for the merged murder conviction and a consecutive 20-year sentence for especially aggravated robbery. On appeal, he complains of evidentiary errors, jury-instruction errors, and error in imposing consecutive sentences. We affirm the convictions; however, we vacate the order imposing consecutive sentencing and impose the 20-year sentence to run concurrently with the life sentence.
