State of Tennessee v. Kandi Sue Gaines

The Defendant, Kandi Sue Gaines, was convicted at a Lawrence County Circuit Court bench trial of shoplifting property valued at $500 or less, a Class A misdemeanor, for which she is serving an eleven-month, twenty-nine-day sentence on probation.  See T.C.A. § 39-14-146 (2014) (amended 2017) (theft of property involving merchandise).  On appeal, she contends that the evidence is insufficient to support her conviction.  We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
