State vs. Henry Daniels W2002-00193-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn Trial Court Judge: Joseph B. Dailey The defendant was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of aggravated burglary, a Class C felony, and aggravated rape, a Class A felony. He was sentenced by the trial court as a career offender to fifteen years for the aggravated burglary conviction and as a violent offender to forty years for the aggravated rape conviction, with the sentences to be served consecutively, for an effective sentence of fifty-five years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he raises the sole issue of whether the trial court committed reversible error by denying his request to represent himself at trial. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court but remand for entry of a corrected judgment as to the aggravated burglary conviction to reflect the defendant's conviction offense which was omitted from the judgment form.

Ronald E. Walton vs. State E1999-01165-CCA-R3-PC Authoring Judge: Judge John Everett Williams Trial Court Judge: Douglas A. Meyer After a hearing, the petitioner appeals the criminal court's order dismissing his petition for post-conviction relief. Convicted in 1968 of assault and battery with intent to rape, the petitioner was sentenced to incarceration for ten years. The petitioner has fully served his sentence in Tennessee. However, his Tennessee conviction was used to enhance his 1980 conviction of rape in Indiana. The petitioner proceeds to challenge his Tennessee conviction, in hope of a sentence reduction in Indiana. After careful review, we affirm the criminal court's dismissal.

James William Taylor v. State of Tennessee 01C01-9809-CC-00384 Authoring Judge: Judge Norma McGee Ogle Trial Court Judge: Judge Donald P. Harris The petitioner, James William Taylor, appeals the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief by the Williamson County Circuit Court on September 9, 1998. In August 1988, the petitioner was convicted of felony murder, robbery, and second degree burglary in the Williamson County Circuit Court. The trial court sentenced the petitioner to life imprisonment on the murder conviction, to a fifteen year sentence on the second degree burglary conviction, and to a fifteen year sentence on the robbery conviction, with all sentences to be served consecutively to one another. The petitioner appealed and this court affirmed the petitioner’s convictions and sentence on April 25, 1990. See State v. Taylor, No. 89-93-III, 1990 WL 50751 (Tenn. Crim. App. at Nashville), perm. to appeal denied, (Tenn. 1990). The petitioner filed a timely pro se petition for post-conviction relief on April 10, 1991. The trial court appointed counsel and the petitioner amended the petition numerous times to allege additional grounds for relief. After hearing evidence on the issues raised by the petition, the post-conviction court filed a memorandum opinion denying relief. On appeal the petitioner presents the following issues for our consideration: (1) whether the post-conviction court erred by finding that the petitioner’s trial counsel was not ineffective; and (2) whether the post-conviction court erred by finding that the State did not violate the petitioner’s right to a fair trial by withholding exculpatory evidence. Following a review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.	Williamson	Court of Criminal Appeals	05/19/00

State vs. William Douglas Ellis M1999-783-CCA-R3-CD Trial Court Judge: Jane W. Wheatcraft The appellant, William Donald Ellis, was convicted by a Sumner County jury of one count of rape of a child, two counts of aggravated sexual battery, and two counts of assault. The trial court imposed a sentence of twenty-five (25) years incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction for the offense of rape of a child, ten (10) years incarceration in the Department for each count of aggravated sexual battery, and six (6) months incarceration in the Sumner County Jail for each count of assault. The trial court ordered that the appellant serve his sentences for rape of a child and aggravated sexual battery consecutively to each other and concurrently with his sentences for assault, resulting in an effective sentence of forty-five (45) years incarceration. On appeal, the appellant presents the following issues for our review: (1) whether the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained by police as a result of the warrantless search of his home; (2) whether the trial court should have required the State to elect between Counts One and Six of the indictment; (3) whether the evidence adduced at trial supports the jury's findings of venue; and (4) whether the evidence adduced at trial supports the jury's verdict of guilt of rape of a child. Following a review of the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm in part and reverse and remand in part the judgments of the trial court.	Sumner	Court of Criminal Appeals	05/17/00
