State of Tennessee v. Amory K. Collins

A Knox County jury convicted the Defendant, Amory K. Collins, of one count of burglary
and one count of criminal trespass. The trial court merged one count of criminal trespass
and the burglary conviction and then sentenced the Defendant to eight years of
incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to sustain
his conviction for burglary because there was insufficient proof that he acted knowingly
with regard to the underlying theft or attempted theft. After review, we affirm the trial
court’s judgments.
