State of Tennessee v. James Phillip Rickman

Syllabus

A Lake County jury convicted the Defendant, James Phillip Rickman, of one count of attempted first degree premeditated murder resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and three counts of aggravated assault. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of twenty-one years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the Defendant asserts that: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions for attempted first degree murder with serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault and (2) the trial court erred when it dismissed his motion to suppress. After review, we affirm the trial court's judgments.

Judges: Judge Robert W. Wedemeyer
