STATE OF TENNESSEE v. CHRISTOPHER I. THRASHER

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jul 18, 2014

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Chasity Hancock and Kelly R. Williams, Livingston, Tennessee, for the appellant, Christopher I. Thrasher.

Attorneys 2:

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Michael A. Meyer, Deputy Attorney General; Randall A. York, District Attorney General; and Owen G. Burnett, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): THOMAS

The Defendant, Christopher I. Thrasher, was convicted by an Overton County jury of delivery of oxycodone within 1000 feet of a school zone, and the trial court imposed a sentence of seventeen years for that conviction. In this direct appeal, the Defendant alleges that the following errors were made at his trial: (1) that his motion to suppress should have been granted because he was under the influence of drugs at the time he waived his rights and gave his statement; (2) that the chain of custody regarding the pills was not sufficiently established; and (3) that enhancement of his sentencing term above the range minimum was improper. After a thorough review of the record and the applicable authorities, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
