Posted by: Azya Thornton on Oct 3, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Raven Prean-Morris, Assistant Public Defender—Appellate Division; Travis B. Jones, District Public Defender; and Robert H. Stovall, Jr., and Teresa Campbell, Assistant District Public Defenders, for the appellant, Nathaniel Lee Mitchell.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth Evan, Assistant Attorney General; Brent A. Cooper, District Attorney General; and Rebecca S. Parsons and Hunter Knight, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Defendant, Nathaniel Lee Mitchell, appeals from his Giles County Circuit Court conviction for reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, for which he received a sentence of two years, suspended to two years’ supervised probation. Defendant contends that the trial court erroneously admitted evidence of a prior incident in violation of Tennessee Rule of Evidence 404(b) and that the evidence of his reckless mental state was insufficient. Following a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
