Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 6, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Tammy D. Wendt, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Charles Edward Young.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald L. Coleman, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Robert Carter, District Attorney General; Michael D. Randles and Amber Sandoval, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

A Bedford County Jury convicted Defendant, Charles Edward Young, of: (1) especially aggravated robbery; (2) first degree murder during the perpetration of a robbery; (3) premeditated first degree murder; and (4) conspiracy to commit especially aggravated robbery. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of life plus ninety years. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court erred in denying Defendant’s motion to suppress the evidence obtained from his cell phone; the court erred in declining to compel the State to disclose evidence pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); and that the jury’s verdicts are against the weight of the evidence. After review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
