State of Tennessee v. Brian Davidson

The defendant, Brian Davidson, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of one count of manufacturing methamphetamine, two counts of possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell and/or deliver, one count of possession of anhydrous ammonia, one count of possession of marijuana, two counts of possession of Hydrocodone, and two counts of possession of Alprazolam. After merging the manufacturing and possession of methamphetamine convictions, the possession of Hydrocodone convictions, and the possession of Alprazolam convictions, the trial court sentenced the defendant to five years for manufacturing methamphetamine, eighteen months for possession of anhydrous ammonia, and eleven months, twenty-nine days for each of the convictions for possession of Hydrocodone, Alprazolam, and marijuana, with the sentences to be served concurrently to each other but consecutively to the defendant’s sentences in a federal case. The defendant argues on appeal that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss based upon a violation of the speedy trial provision of the Interstate Compact on Detainers, in denying his motion to suppress a detective’s in-court identification of him, in denying his discovery request for the impeaching convictions of his codefendant, and in ordering that he serve his sentences consecutively to his federal sentences. Having reviewed the record and found no error, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
