State of Tennessee v. Paul O. Dickens, Sr.

The defendant, Paul O. Dickens, Sr., was convicted by a Rutherford County jury of attempted voluntary manslaughter (a Class D felony), reckless endangerment (a Class E felony), and two counts of coercion of a witness (a Class D felony). On direct appeal to this court, the defendant contends that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict; and (2) his convictions for attempted voluntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment violate the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy. Upon review of the record, briefs of the parties, and applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
