State of Tennessee v. John Orise Adams, III

Syllabus

The Defendant, John Orise Adams III, was convicted by a jury of one count of aggravated robbery, a Class B felony. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-402. The trial court then imposed an eight-year sentence. On appeal, the Defendant contends (1) that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the Defendant's conviction (2) that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of the Defendant's drug use (3) that the trial court erred in allowing a witness to testify that the Defendant was \aware\ of certain events prior to the robbery because the witness could not have had personal knowledge of what the Defendant was \aware\ of and (4) that the cumulative effect of these errors denied the Defendant a fair trial. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
