Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Feb 10, 2022

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: J. Liddell Kirk, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Timothy A. Whitaker.

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

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Timothy Whitaker, was convicted following a jury trial of attempted seconddegree murder, two counts of aggravated assault by use of a deadly weapon, two counts of aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, and misdemeanor reckless endangerment. The trial court sentenced Defendant to an effective sentence of fourteen years. On appeal, Defendant argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for attempted second-degree murder and that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering partially consecutive sentences. Following our review of the entire record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
