STATE OF TENNESSEE v. TIMOTHY LINDSEY

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Feb 18, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Stephen Bush, District Public Defender, and Barry W. Kuhn, Assistant District Public Defender (on appeal), and Charles Waldman and Jake Brown (at trial), Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Timothy Lindsey.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Jonathan H. Wardle, Assistant Attorney General; Amy P. Weirich, District Attorney General; and Abby Wallace, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILLIAMS

A Shelby County jury convicted the Defendant, Timothy Lindsey, of aggravated rape for a crime committed in 2005, and he was sentenced to serve thirty years in confinement. On appeal, the Defendant challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence and asserts that the ten-year delay in indicting him violated his right to due process. We conclude that the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict and that the Defendant has waived the issue of pre-indictment delay. Accordingly, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed and the case remanded for correction of the judgment form.
