Posted by: Julia Wilburn on Jul 24, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joshua V. Lehde (on appeal), Public Defender Fellow—Appellate Division; Bill Randolph, District Public Defender; and Martin E. Dunn and Jason Jackson (at trial), Assistant District Public Defenders, for the appellant, Antwon Dejuan Wiley.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Colin Johnson, District Attorney General; and Kate Bynum and James R. Washburn, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Following a trial, a Weakley County jury found Defendant, Antwon Dejuan Wiley, guilty of aggravated robbery and theft under $1,000, for which the trial court sentenced him to a total effective sentence of fifteen years’ incarceration. On appeal, Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for aggravated robbery and that the trial court should have merged his conviction for theft under $1,000 with the aggravated robbery conviction based upon double jeopardy principles. Following a thorough review, we affirm Defendant’s convictions and sentences but remand for the merger of his conviction for theft under $1,000 into his aggravated robbery conviction and entry of amended judgments reflecting the merger.
