Knox Court of Criminal Appeals

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.

Putnam Court of Criminal Appeals

State of Tennessee vs. Mark Crites
01C01-9711-CR-00512
Authoring Judge: Senior Judge L. T. Lafferty
Trial Court Judge: Judge Jane W. Wheatcraft

Mark Crites appeals from the revocation of his community corrections sentence. He challenges both the propriety of that revocation and his resentencing, arguing that: (1) the trial court abused its discretion in revoking his community corrections sentence; (2) the trial court misapplied certain enhancement factors and that his sentences are, therefore, excessive; and (3) the trial court erred in ordering consecutive sentencing. After careful review of the record and arguments of counsel, we conclude the trial court relied upon improper evidence in revoking the community corrections sentence. We remand for another revocation hearing.
