State vs. Walter Wilson

W2001-01463-CCA-R3-CD
Walter Wilson, the defendant, was convicted of second-degree murder, felony murder, and attempted especially aggravated robbery by a Shelby County jury. The jury sentenced the defendant to life without the possibility of parole for the felony-murder conviction, and the trial court imposed a consecutive, ten-year sentence in the Department of Correction for the attempted especially aggravated robbery. On appeal, the defendant contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, that applicable lesser-included offenses were not charged to the jury, and that consecutive sentencing is inappropriate because he is not a dangerous offender. We affirm the attempted especially aggravated robbery conviction, but we reverse and remand for a new trial on the homicide counts based on the failure to instruct on lesser-included offenses.

Sullivan County Court of Criminal Appeals 05/20/99
State vs. Eddie Pittman

W2000-01582-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant appeals his convictions for attempted second degree murder and felony possession of a weapon, arguing that he was denied his right to a unanimous jury verdict by the trial court's failure to require the prosecution to make an election of facts supporting the attempted murder. After a thorough review of the record, we conclude that neither an election nor enhanced unanimity instruction was required. Thus, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
