State of Tennessee v. Charles David Smithson

Appellant, Charles David Smithson, was convicted by a Lawrence County jury of two counts of attempted first degree murder and one count of aggravated assault. Appellant was sentenced to an effective sentence of forty-five years as a result of his convictions. Appellant appeals his convictions for attempted first degree murder, arguing that the evidence did not show premeditation. Following a review of the record, we determine that the evidence introduced at trial was sufficient to establish that Appellant committed attempted first degree murder. As a result, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
