State of Tennessee v. Garet Myers

Syllabus

A jury convicted the Defendant, Garet Myers, of evading arrest in a motor vehicle, a Class E felony reckless endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor speeding, a Class C misdemeanor and driving without a license, a Class B misdemeanor. The trial court sentenced him to an effective sentence of two years, with thirty days to be served in confinement and the remainder on probation. The Defendant appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, the court's refusal to approve the Defendant's request for a special jury instruction, the exclusion of evidence, and the trial court's denial of judicial diversion. After a thorough review of the record, the parties' briefs, oral argument, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
