Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jul 17, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Phyllis L. Aluko, District Public Defender; and Barry W. Kuhn (on appeal), and Robert Felkner (at trial), Assistant Public Defenders, for the appellant, James Bennett.

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

Judge(s): GLENN

The Defendant, James Bennett, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of theft of property over $10,000, a Class C felony, and was sentenced to seven years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of his prior bad acts, and that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
