State of Tennessee v. Christopher King Knight

Syllabus

A Hardin County jury convicted the Defendant, Christopher Knight, of second degree murder, and the trial court sentenced him to twenty-two years in confinement. In this appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the trial court failed to excuse a juror for cause when the juror had extrajudicial information about the Defendant (2) the trial court failed to perform its role as the thirteenth juror and (3) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. After review, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

Judges: Judge Robert W. Wedemeyer
