State of Tennessee v. Mark Steven Treuchet

Syllabus

The Defendant, Mark Steven Treuchet, was convicted after a jury trial of second degree murder, a Class A felony, and sentenced to seventeen years, six months' incarceration. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-210. In this appeal as of right, the Defendant contends that (1) the trial court erred by denying his motion to disqualify the district attorney's office (2) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction (3) the court erred by excluding police testimony regarding the victim's state of mind (4) the court erred by admitting a portion of the Defendant's police statement referring to a prior bad act and (5) the court erred by giving a jury instruction on transferred intent and by declining to give jury instructions on private arrest and defense of a business. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
