Posted by: Karen Belcher on Sep 22, 2023

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Donna Hargrove, District Public Defender, and Kendall Stivers Jones, Assistant District Public Defender, for the Appellant, Tracey Lynn Carter.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Lacy E. Wilber, Assistant Attorney General; Robert J. Carter, District Attorney General; and Amber Sandoval, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Appellant, Tracey Lynn Carter, was convicted by a Lincoln County jury of attempted aggravated assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication. He received an effective sentence of eight years’ imprisonment. On appeal, the Appellant alleges that: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for attempted aggravated assault; (2) the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on voluntary intoxication; and (3) the trial court erred in denying a sentence of split confinement. After review, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.
