State of Tennessee v. Darunn Turner

Syllabus

The Appellant appeals his convictions of voluntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon for which he received an effective sentence of twenty-seven years' confinement. On appeal, the Appellant contends that: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions and (2) the trial court abused its discretion by imposing the maximum within-range sentences and ordering that they be served consecutively. Though he also challenges the trial court's failure to include reckless homicide as a lesser included offense of first degree murder and the allegedly inconsistent verdicts, he has waived these issues by failing to file a motion for new trial. After review of the preserved issues, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
