Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Dec 2, 2020

Head Comment: With concurring opinion by WEDEMEYER

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Bernie McEvoy (at trial) and Patrick McNally (on appeal), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Armin Lars Begtrup.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Caitlin Smith, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Brian Ewald and Sasha Beatty, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

Defendant, Armin Lars Begtrup, was found guilty after a jury trial of two counts of aggravated perjury. He was sentenced to three and one-half years of supervised probation. The trial court granted judicial diversion. Defendant timely filed a motion for new trial which the trial court denied. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court violated his right to a unanimous verdict and that the evidence is not sufficient to sustain his convictions. After a thorough review, we dismiss the appeal because we lack jurisdiction to consider the issues.
