STATE OF TENNESSEE v. CHARLES RAYMOND LOCKE, JR.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jul 21, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Donald Travis Christmas, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Charles Raymond Locke, Jr.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Walker Schulken Anderson, Honors Fellow, Office of the Solicitor General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Amelia Hamilton and Leland Price, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

A Knox County jury convicted the Defendant, Charles Raymond Locke, Jr., of second degree murder, and the trial court imposed a twenty-five-year sentence. The Defendant appeals, asserting that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress his statement to the police and that the trial court abused its discretion when it sentenced him to serve twenty-five years in prison. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
