STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JAMES PENNOCK

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Mar 19, 2015

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

William T. Edwards, Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, James Pennock.

Attorneys 2:

Robert E. Cooper, Attorney General and Reporter; Rachel E. Willis, Senior Counsel; Phillip Bivens, District Attorney General; and Karen Burns, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Defendant-Appellant, James Pennock, was convicted by a Dyer County jury of three counts of sale of a Schedule II controlled substance. On appeal, the Defendant argues that (1) the evidence is insufficient to establish the Defendant?s identity as the person who committed the offenses; (2) the trial court erred in instructing the jury regarding eyewitness identification testimony; and (3) the trial court erred in allowing the co-defendant, Nora Gibson, to testify without proper notice provided to the Defendant.1 Upon our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
