State of Tennessee v. Denver Christian Smith

Syllabus

The Defendant, Denver Christian Smith, was convicted by a Washington County Criminal Court jury of first degree felony murder, attempted second degree murder, and attempted carjacking. See T.C.A. §§ 39-13-202 (2014) (subsequently amended) (first degree murder), 39-13-210 (2014) (subsequently amended) (second degree murder), 39-13-404 (2018) (carjacking), 39-12-101 (2018) (criminal attempt). On appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the trial court erred when it denied the Defendant's motion to suppress his statements to the police and (2) no reasonable trier of fact could find that the Defendant failed to establish his insanity defense by clear and convincing evidence. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
