State of Tennessee v. Jason Clinard

A Stewart County Circuit Court jury convicted the defendant, Jason Clinard, of first degree premeditated murder and imposed a sentence of life imprisonment. See T.C.A. §§ 39-13-202(a)(1); -204 (2006). In this appeal, the defendant asserts that the trial court erred by (1) not suppressing photographs of the victim, (2) allowing the State an independent psychological examination of the defendant, (3) failing to disqualify the District Attorney General’s Office, and (4) following the statutory sentencing scheme that resulted in the defendant’s life sentence. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
