State of Tennessee v. David Earl Scott - dissenting opinion

Case Number
E2011-00707-CCA-R3-CD

I respectfully disagree with the conclusion by the majority that the evidence of serious bodily injury to the victim was insufficient to support the conviction for especially aggravated kidnapping. After considering the evidence of serious bodily injury in the light most favorable to the prosecution, it is my view that a rational trier of fact could have found that the victim suffered serious bodily injury at the hands of the Defendant, and therefore I would affirm the especially aggravated kidnapping conviction.
