State of Tennessee v. Johnathan Robert Leonard

Syllabus

Johnathan Robert Leonard (\the Defendant\) appeals his Marshall County convictions for three counts of rape of a child, two counts of soliciting sexual exploitation of a child, and one count of aggravated sexual battery, for which he received an effective sentence of ninety-six years. The Defendant asserts that he was denied due process and a fair trial based on numerous instances of prosecutorial misconduct and that the cumulative effect of \irregularities\ during voir dire and jury selection resulted in structural constitutional error, necessitating a new trial. After a thorough review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Robert L. Holloway, Jr.
