State of Tennessee v. James E. Fenton, Jr.

Case Number
M2005-01761-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, James Fenton, was convicted of especially aggravated robbery. The trial court imposed a sentence of twenty years. In this appeal, the defendant asserts (1) that the trial court erred by disallowing questions about the number of times the victim had previously been robbed; (2) that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction; (3) that the trial court erred by denying his motion for judgment of acquittal; (4) that the trial court failed to appropriately exercise its role as thirteenth juror; and (5) that the trial court erred by failing to consider as a mitigating factor the defendant's lack of education. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
