State of Tennessee v. Donalson Wells Carter, AKA Donaldson W. Carter
Syllabus
The Defendant, Donalson Wells Carter, was convicted of the sale of fentanyl, simple possession or casual exchange of fentanyl, possession with intent to sell or deliver 0.5 grams or more of cocaine, and possession with intent to sell or deliver 0.5 grams or more of methamphetamine. He received an effective sentence of thirty years. The Defendant raises three issues on appeal, arguing that: (1) the trial court erred by allowing the State to introduce evidence of prior bad acts (2) the trial court erred by failing to require the State to disclose favorable treatment of witnesses and (3) his sentence is excessive. Upon reviewing the record and applicable law, we affirm the trial court's judgments.
