Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 13, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gregory P. Isaacs and Michael R. Fitzgerald (at trial and on appeal); and Ashlee B. Mathis (at trial), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Kevin R. Newman.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Katherine C. Redding, Senior Assistant Attorney General; and TaKisha Fitzgerald and Robert Debusk, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, Kevin R. Newman, appeals his Knox County Criminal Court jury convictions of aggravated burglary and vandalism of property valued at more than $1,000 but less than $2,500, arguing that the trial court erred by admitting certain testimony, by refusing to declare a mistrial, and by providing a jury instruction on flight. He also challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence. Upon review, we find no error and, accordingly, affirm the judgments of the trial court.
