State of Tennessee v. Benjamin R. Franklin
Syllabus
The Defendant, Benjamin R. Franklin, appeals his convictions for three counts of vehicular homicide by intoxication and three counts of vehicular homicide by reckless driving. The Defendant argues that (1) the trial court erred by admitting Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) blood and urine test results (2) the court erred by admitting photographs of the victims at the crash scene (3) the evidence was insufficient relative to intoxication (4) the court erred by denying the Defendant's motion for a mistrial during the State's rebuttal argument and (5) the court erred in sentencing by imposing the maximum sentence, ordering consecutive sentencing, and suspending the Defendant's driver's license for ten years. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm.
