STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JONATHAN ROGERS ROBERTSON

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Dec 23, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: William J. Milam, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jonathan Rogers Robertson.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Katherine C. Redding, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jody Pickens, District Attorney General; and Benjamin Mayo, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Jonathan Rogers Robertson, was convicted by jury of unlawful possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony drug offense, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of forty-five years. Defendant appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions because the State failed to establish that he possessed the firearm and drug paraphernalia. Upon review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court, but remand for merger of counts one and two and entry of corrected judgment forms. We affirm the trial court’s judgments in all other respects.
