State of Tennessee v. Justin L. Kiser

Syllabus

The Defendant, Justin L. Kiser, was convicted by a Union County Criminal Court jury of five counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, a Class A felony. See T.C.A. § 39-13- 305 (2018). On appeal, the Defendant contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions (2) the trial court erred by not requiring the State to show its good faith efforts to locate a missing witness before declaring that witness unavailable for trial and (3) the trial court erred by sentencing the Defendant to twenty-one years' confinement. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
