STATE OF TENNESSEE v. QUANTAVIOUS WILLIAMS

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Apr 6, 2021

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gerald L. Gulley (on appeal) and Kevin Angel (at trial), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Quantavious Williams.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Courtney N. Orr, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and TaKisha Fitzgerald, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WITT

A Knox County Criminal Court jury convicted the defendant, Quantavious Williams, of first degree murder, attempted especially aggravated robbery, carjacking, employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, aggravated robbery, and aggravated kidnapping. In this appeal, the defendant challenges those convictions on grounds that the trial court erred by excluding expert testimony regarding the defendant’s mental state at the time of the alleged offenses and that the evidence was insufficient to establish his guilt. Discerning no error, we affirm.
