Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 9, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Steven S. Hooper, District Public Defender, and Justin C. Sensing, Assistant Public Defender, Ashland City, Tennessee (on appeal), and Olin Jon Baker, Charlotte, Tennessee (at trial), for the appellant, Anthony T. Braden.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Ray Crouch, District Attorney General; and Joseph L. Hornick, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Anthony T. Braden, was convicted by a Humphreys County jury of two counts of aggravated sexual battery. The trial court imposed an effective ten-year sentence. Defendant appeals, arguing that the trial court committed plain error in finding that the victim had properly authenticated the video-recorded forensic interview under Tennessee Code Annotated section 24-7-123(b)(1). Upon our review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
