Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Bo Burk, District Public Defender, and Terry Dycus, Assistant Public Defender, Somerville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Dylan Ray Thompson.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin L. Barker, Assistant Attorney General; Mark Davidson, District Attorney General; and Falen Chandler and Raven Icaza, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Dylan Ray Thompson, was convicted by a Fayette County jury of first degree premeditated murder, aggravated assault, and unlawful possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed an effective sentence of life plus eight years. Defendant appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support each of his convictions and that the trial court erred in aligning his sentences consecutively. Upon review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
