State of TEnnessee v. Robert Joseph Atkins

A Knox County jury convicted the Defendant, Robert Joseph Atkins, of delivery of a
Schedule I controlled substance (acetylfentanyl) within 1,000 feet of a drug-free zone and
delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (fentanyl) within 1,000 feet of a drug-free
zone. On appeal, the Defendant argues: (1) the trial court erred by admitting his
statements to law enforcement because new testimony at trial corroborated his claim that
his statements were involuntary; (2) the trial court failed to properly instruct the jury on
the inference of casual exchange and the order of consideration; and (3) the evidence is
insufficient to sustain his convictions. Upon review, we affirm.
