STATE OF TENNESSEE v. KEITH HARDING MILLER

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 23, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Tyler M. Caviness (on appeal and at sentencing and motion for new trial), Knoxville, Tennessee; and Tim D. Hewitt (at trial), Cleveland, Tennessee, for the appellant, Keith Harding Miller.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Abigail H. Rinard, Assistant Attorney General; Courtney Lynch, District Attorney General; David Shinn, Mike Taylor, and Kandi Nunley, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Keith Harding Miller, was convicted by a Rhea County Circuit Court jury of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a Class C felony. See T.C.A. § 39-13- 102(A)(1)(A)(iii) (Supp. 2019) (subsequently amended). The trial court sentenced him to three years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he contends that: (1) the State violated Brady v. Maryland by failing to disclose material evidence, (2) a juror imparted extraneous information which impacted the verdict, and (3) the trial court erred in denying judicial diversion and in imposing incarceration. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
