State of Tennessee v. Marlon Meacham

Following a jury trial, Defendant, Marlon Meacham, was convicted of one count of aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated burglary. Defendant was sentenced to serve nine years for the robbery conviction and six years for the burglary conviction, to be served concurrently in the Tennessee Department of Correction, for a total effective sentence of nine years. In this appeal, Defendant argues that 1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, (2) the State improperly refreshed the recollection of Javonta Charles, and (3) the State improperly questioned Defendant about his pre-arrest silence in violation of his Fifth Amendment due process rights. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
