State of Tennessee v. Leonard Edward Smith
03S01-9710-CC-00129
Authoring Judge: Justice Frank F. Drowota, III
Trial Court Judge: Judge Lynn W. Brown

In this automatic appeal,1 the defendant, Leonard Edward Smith, raises numerous challenges to the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals which affirmed his sentence of death for the 1984 murder of Novella Webb. After carefully examining the entire record and the law, including the thorough opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals and the briefs of the defendant and the State, this Court entered an Order limiting review at oral argument to the following three issues:2 (1) Whether the trial court was correct in allowing the defendant to control the presentation of mitigating evidence and to waive closing argument against counsel’s advice; (2) Whether the admittance of victim impact testimony and argument at the sentencing hearing constituted reversible error; (3) Whether the sentence of death is arbitrary or disproportionate in violation of Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-206(c)(1)(A)-(D) (1997 Repl.).

State vs. Marvin Woods
W2001-00316-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn
Trial Court Judge: Jon Kerry Blackwood
The defendant was convicted of the introduction of contraband into a penal institution, a Class C felony, for smuggling marijuana into the prison where he worked. The trial court sentenced him as a Range I, standard offender, to three years in the Department of Correction, with the sentence suspended, and the defendant placed on supervised probation for three years. Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, the defendant filed a timely appeal as of right to this court, alleging that the trial court erred in allowing a prior inconsistent statement to be introduced, in its instructions as to the statement, in concluding that the State sufficiently proved the chain of custody, and in ruling that trial counsel had not been ineffective. Based upon our review of the record and of applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
