State of Tennessee v. Michael Waddell

A Shelby County Criminal Court Jury convicted the appellant of second degree murder. The trial court sentenced him as a Range II, multiple offender to thirty-seven years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the appellant contends that the evidence is not sufficient to sustain his conviction of second degree murder. He argues that the jury should have found that he was acting in self-defense or, in the alternative, that he committed voluntary manslaughter. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
