State of Tennessee v. Bobby Brown

T he D efendant w as indicted for one count of agg ravated robbery and one count of theft over $1,000. He w as subsequently tried by a T ipton C ounty jury and found guilty of aggravated robbery and theft over $500. In this appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by allowing introduction of an involuntary statement which he made to police following his arrest, by failing to grant his motion for new trial on the basis of insufficient evidence, and by sentencing him incorrectly. We hold that the trial court did not err by admitting the Defendant’ s statement to police, that the evidence was sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction, and that the Defendant was properly sentenced. Accordingly , we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
