State of Tennessee v. Courtney Fifer

Syllabus

Following a jury trial, Defendant, Courtney Fifer, was convicted of first degree murder, attempted robbery, and being a felon in possession of a handgun. He was sentenced to life for first degree murder, two years for attempted robbery, and one year for being a felon in possession of a handgun. On appeal, Defendant argues that his right to a fair trial was violated because the trial court improperly restricted his closing argument, and the prosecutor misstated evidence during closing argument. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Presiding Judge Thomas T. Woodall
