STATE OF TENNESSEE v. CHRISTOPHER LEVI PARKER

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Oct 17, 2019

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Donna Miller (on appeal), and Andrew S. Basler (at trial), Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, Christopher Levi Parker.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Clark B. Thornton, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Neal Pinkston, District Attorney General; and Andrew Coyle and Lance Pope, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Defendant-Appellant, Christopher Levi Parker, was convicted by a Hamilton County jury of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison. In this appeal as of right, he raises the following issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction of first-degree premeditated murder; and (2) whether the trial court erred in allowing the State to admit proof that the Defendant stole a gun that was consistent with the murder weapon the night before he shot and killed the victim. Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
