State of Tennessee v. Jacob Haliburton

A Shelby County jury convicted the Appellant, Jacob Haliburton, of theft of property over $10,000, a Class C felony, and intentionally evading arrest in a motor vehicle, a Class E felony. He received a five and two year sentence, ordered to be served consecutively, for an effective seven year sentence. In this appeal, the Appellant presents the following issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence is sufficient to support his convictions; (2) whether the trial court committed plain error by failing to charge the jury with instructions regarding duress and necessity; (3) whether the sentence imposed was excessive; and (4) whether the trial court erred in ordering consecutive sentences. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
