State of Tennessee v. Jeremy Lynden Myrick

Syllabus

The Defendant, Jeremy Lynden Myrick, appeals his jury convictions for voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, for which he received an effective sentence of five and one-half years' imprisonment. In this direct appeal, the Defendant alleges the following errors: (1) that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress his statement because the stop of his vehicle was not supported by reasonable suspicion (2) that the evidence was insufficient to support his voluntary manslaughter conviction, challenging the evidence establishing cause of death (3) that admission of a photograph of the victim's injuries was more prejudicial than probative and (4) that the State committed prosecutorial misconduct by referring to the amended death certificate which was testimonial in nature. Following our review of the record and the applicable authorities, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
