State of Tennessee v. Steve Leslie Smith

Case Number
M2020-01263-CCA-R3-CD

A Williamson County jury convicted the Defendant, Steve Leslie Smith, of public intoxication.  The trial court imposed a thirty-day sentence in the county workhouse to be suspended to supervised probation after five days of service.  On appeal, the Defendant argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, that the trial court erred when it admitted evidence about a substance abuse and psychiatric facility near where the Defendant was arrested, and that the trial court committed plain error when it rejected his challenge for cause of three prospective jurors.  After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
