State of Tennessee v. Devin Buckingham

Syllabus

A Shelby County Criminal Court Jury convicted the Appellant, Devin Buckingham, of first degree premeditated murder, and the trial court sentenced him to life. On appeal, the Appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction that the trial court erred by ruling that defense counsel's notes, taken during counsel's interview of a defense witness, qualified as Jencks material and that the trial court erred by prohibiting defense counsel from questioning a defense witness about the victim's prior bad acts. Based upon the oral arguments, the record, and the parties' briefs, we find no reversible error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Norma McGee Ogle
