State of Tennessee v. Phillip Jerome Locke

Syllabus

A Knox County jury convicted the Defendant of first degree premeditated murder, felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, carjacking, unlawful possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, unlawful possession of a handgun as a convicted felon, and the lesser included offense of possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of life plus thirty years. On appeal, the Defendant asserts that: (1) the trial court erred when it failed to give an accomplice jury instruction for a witness, Duraejia Clark (2) the convicting evidence is insufficient because the State failed to corroborate the accomplice's testimony and (3) cumulative error requires reversal. After review, we affirm the trial court's judgments.
