State of Tennessee v. Casey Lynn Hopper

Syllabus

The Defendant, Casey Lynn Hopper, appeals his convictions for felony evading arrest causing a risk of death or injury, a Class D felony reckless endangerment with a motor vehicle, a Class E felony driving with a revoked license and reckless driving, Class B misdemeanors and speeding, a Class C misdemeanor, and his effective twelve-year sentence. See Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 39-13-103, -16-603(b)(3)(B), 55-8-152, -10-205, -50- 504. In this appeal as of right, the Defendant argues that (1) the trial court erred by forcing the Defendant to choose whether to accept a plea offer or proceed to trial before the State produced complete discovery materials (2) the State failed to collect or preserve favorable evidence, specifically a convenience store surveillance recording (3) the State failed to provide the defense with exculpatory evidence, specifically a pair of binoculars (4) the trial court improperly limited cross-examination by prohibiting the defense from introducing a photograph of a third party and questioning a police witness about him (5) the Defendant's convictions for felony evading arrest and reckless endangerment violate double jeopardy (6) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions and (7) the trial court erred by imposing consecutive sentencing. After reviewing the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
