Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Steven Bush, District Public Defender; Tony N. Brayton, Assistant Public Defender; Nicholas Cloud, Assistant Public Defender; and Kathy Kent, Assistant Public Defender; Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Donald Prescott.

Attorneys 2:

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Jeffrey D. Zentner, Assistant Attorney General; Amy P. Weirich, District Attorney General; Michael McCusker, Assistant District Attorney General; Melanie Headley, Assistant District Attorney General; and Jessica Banti, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WOODALL

Following a jury trial, Defendant, Donald Prescott, was found guilty of especially aggravated robbery. He was sentenced to serve thirty years’ incarceration. In this appeal as of right, Defendant presents two issues for review. He asserts that (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress the victim’s pre-trial and trial identifications of Defendant; and (2) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for especially aggravated robbery because the State failed to present sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim suffered serious bodily injury. After a thorough review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
