Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gerald L. Gulley (on appeal) and Rhonda F. Lee (at trial), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jessica Cox.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Katherine C. Redding, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Ashley McDermott, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WITT

The defendant, Jessica Cox, appeals her Knox County Criminal Court jury convictions of aggravated child abuse and reckless endangerment, arguing that the trial court erred by excluding evidence of an expert witness, that the trial court erred by excluding certain testimony and preventing her from mounting a defense, and that the evidence was insufficient to support certain convictions. Discerning no error, we affirm.
