State of Tennessee v. Joe McKnight

The defendant, Joe McKnight, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of aggravated robbery, a Class B felony, and sentenced to ten years as a Range I offender in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he argues that (1) the trial court erred in allowing the State to question defense witness, Dr. Joseph Angelillo, about the defendant’s prior criminal history; (2) the trial court erred in allowing the State to lead its witness, Stanley Johnson; (3) the trial court erred in admitting co-defendant Stanley Johnson’s statement to authorities into evidence; and (4) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
