STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JONATHAN ADDAIR

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Oct 11, 2019

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Jonathan Sevier Cave, Greeneville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jonathan Wayne Addair.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Barry P. Staubus, District Attorney General; and Emily M. Smith, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

Following a bench trial, the trial court convicted the Defendant, Jonathan Addair, of child abuse and domestic assault. The trial court merged the domestic assault conviction into the child abuse conviction and sentenced the Defendant to serve three years and six months in confinement. On appeal the Defendant asserts the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for child abuse, and the trial court’s sentence is excessive. After review, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.
