State of Tennessee v. John Henry Sparrow, III

Case Number
M2000-3238-CCA-R3-CD

The Defendant, John Henry Sparrow, III, was convicted by a jury of attempted especially aggravated kidnapping, and sentenced to twelve years in the Department of Correction. In this direct appeal the Defendant raises three issues: whether the evidence is sufficient to support his conviction; whether
the trial court made an improper comment on the evidence in its instructions to the jury; and whether the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of attempted false imprisonment. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
