State of Tennessee v. Jonathan Hamilton

Syllabus

A Shelby County jury convicted the Defendant, Jonathan Hamilton, of first degree felony murder, attempted first degree murder, and employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. The trial court sentenced the Defendant to serve an effective life sentence plus twenty-six years. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by (1) denying his motions to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a warrant, as well as an out-of-court identification (2) admitting autopsy photographs (3) failing to instruct the jury on aggravated assault, facilitation, and accessory after the fact (4) allowing improper closing arguments and (5) imposing consecutive sentencing. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgments of the trial court.
