State of Tennessee v. James B. Cobb

Syllabus

Following a jury trial, the Defendant, James B. Cobb, was convicted of driving under the influence, a Class A misdemeanor. He received a sentence of eleven months and twentynine days, suspended after forty-eight hours of incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant argues that (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction (2) the trial court erred in excluding a defense expert's curriculum vitae from evidence (3) the State made improper closing argument and (4) the trial court erred in denying the Defendant's oral request for a jury instruction on character witnesses. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
