State of Tennessee v. Marquis Dashawn Hendricks - dissenting opinion

Case Number
E2013-00346-CCA-R3-CD

Respectfully, the facts of this case in the light most favorable to the State do not establish the first degree murder element of premeditation. The evidence does establish a knowing killing, and so I would impose a conviction of second degree murder and would remand for sentencing.
