State vs. Torayo Brown
W2000-00472-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Gary R Wade
Trial Court Judge: Jon Kerry Blackwood
The defendant, Torayo Olandis Brown, was convicted of possessing with intent to deliver more than .5 grams of cocaine, a class B felony. The trial court imposed a sentence of eight years and nine months, ordering eight months to be served in the local jail and the balance to be served in a community corrections program. In this appeal of right, the defendant contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction; (2) the trial court erred by allowing the state to impeach him with a prior conviction; and (3) the state improperly argued that he was impeached by the prior conviction. Because of plain error in the trial court's failure to provide a limiting instruction relating to the impeachment evidence, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded for a new trial.

Authoring Judge: Judge Ben H. Cantrell
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Carol A. Catalano

Two subcontractors recovered judgments for work done on a construction project in Clarksville. On appeal the general contractor and the surety on his bond allege that the appellees were not licensed contractors and that neither complied with the notice of nonpayment statute. In addition, the appellant disputes the trial court’s version of the proof and the award of prejudgment interest. We affirm the trial court.
