Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: John Allen Brooks (on appeal and at trial), Donna Miller (at motion for new trial hearing), and F. Lee Ortwein (at trial), Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Patrick Carmody.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Renee W. Turner, Senior Assistant Attorney General; M. Neal Pinkston, District Attorney General; and Cameron Williams, and Kevin Brown, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): OGLE

A Hamilton County Criminal Court Jury convicted the Appellant, Patrick Carmody, of first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery, a Class A felony, and the trial court sentenced him to concurrent terms of life and twenty-two years, respectively. On appeal, the Appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions because the only evidence against him was that of co-conspirators and accomplices and that the trial court erred by allowing the State to introduce evidence about his ownership of a gun. Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
