State of Tennessee v. Rick Hanebutt

The defendant, Rick Hanebutt, was convicted of first degree premeditated murder and attempted first degree premeditated murder. He received a sentence of life imprisonment for his murder conviction and a concurrent twenty year sentence for his attempted first degree murder conviction. On appeal, the defendant raises three issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to support his convictions; (2) whether the state failed to comply with discovery pursuant to Rule 16 of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure; and (3) whether the trial court erred in denying the defendant’s motion to change venue. Following our review of the parties’ briefs and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
