STATE OF TENNESSEE v. TRAMEISHA L. FARRIS

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jun 9, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Manuel B. Russ (on appeal) and James G. King (at trial), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Trameisha L. Farris.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Garrett D. Ward, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Jenny Charles, Wesley King, and Chantley Frazier, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

A Davidson County jury convicted the Defendant, Trameisha L. Farris, of first degree felony murder, and the trial court imposed a sentence of life imprisonment. On appeal, the Defendant challenges the legal sufficiency of the evidence supporting her conviction. More specifically, she argues that (1) the evidence is legally insufficient to prove that a robbery occurred; and (2) even assuming that a robbery occurred, the State failed to prove that she participated in that crime. Upon our review, we respectfully disagree with the Defendant and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
