State of Tennessee v. Nile Bradley LaRue

A Knox County Criminal Court jury convicted the appellant, Nile Bradley LaRue, of voluntary manslaughter. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced him to six years to be served as one year in jail and the remainder on probation. On appeal, the appellant contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction, (2) the trial court committed plain error by instructing the jury on the defense of protection of property, and (3) his six-year sentence is excessive and the trial court erred by denying his request for full probation. Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
