State of Tennessee v. Derek T. Payne

The defendant, Derek T. Payne, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of second degree murder, a Class A felony, and attempted especially aggravated robbery, a Class B felony, and was sentenced by the trial court to an effective sentence of thirty-seven years in the Department of Correction. In this appeal as of right, he challenges the sufficiency of the evidence in support of his convictions, the sentences imposed, and the trial court's evidentiary rulings. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
