Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Stephen C. Bush, District Public Defender; Alicia Kutch (at trial) and Barry W. Kuhn (on appeal), Assistant Public Defenders, for the appellant, James Eggleston.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Meredith DeVault, Senior Counsel; Amy P. Weirich, District Attorney General; and Lora Fowler, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

Defendant, James Eggleston, appeals his conviction for aggravated robbery and sentence of eighteen years and six months in incarceration. On appeal, he insists that the evidence was not sufficient to support the conviction and that his sentence is excessive, especially in light of his reported mental illness. After a review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
