STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ROBERT LEE REAM

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 1, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Ben Bush, Summertown, Tennessee, for the appellant, Robert Lee Ream.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Brent Cooper, District Attorney General; and Christi Thompson-Cook, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The defendant, Robert Lee Ream, pleaded guilty to two counts of arson, and the trial court imposed an effective sentence of four years’ incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction. The trial court also ordered the defendant to pay $75,000 in restitution. On appeal, the defendant argues the trial court erred in ordering restitution. Upon our review, we conclude that the defendant has failed to prepare a sufficient brief in compliance with Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 27(a), and therefore, his issue is waived. Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
