Posted by: Karen Belcher on Jan 8, 2021

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Alexander D. Camp, Jackson, Tennessee (on appeal) and Michael A. Carter, Milan, Tennessee (at trial), for the appellant, Torey Jay Estes.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Katharine K. Decker, Assistant Attorney General; Frederick Hardy Agee, District Attorney General; and Jason Scott and Scott G. Kirk, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

A Gibson County jury convicted the defendant, Torey Jay Estes, of attempted voluntary manslaughter, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment for which he received an effective sentence of thirty-five-years, eleven months, and twenty- nine days. On appeal, the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction for attempted first-degree murder and an evidentiary ruling regarding the admissibility of the victim’s 9-1-1 call into evidence. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
