STATE OF TENNESSEE v. STEVEN MITCHEL AMBROSE

Posted by: Julia Wilburn on Jul 31, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: John M. Schweri (on appeal), Columbia, Tennessee; and Jefre Goldtrap (at trial), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Steven Mitchel Ambrose.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Garrett D. Ward, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Robert J. Carter, District Attorney General; and William B. Bottoms and Lee Brooks, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HIXSON

The Defendant, Steven Mitchel Ambrose, appeals his jury convictions for four counts of rape of a child and his resulting effective sentence of sixty years. On appeal, he argues: (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress his statements made to law enforcement; (2) the State provided an insufficient election of offenses which deprived him of a verdict by a unanimous jury; (3) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions; (4) his sentence is excessive; and (5) the multiple “procedural errors and constitutional violations” that occurred in the trial court violated his right to due process and entitle him to relief under the cumulative error doctrine. After review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
