State of Tennessee v. Raymond Benson

Syllabus

The defendant, Raymond Benson, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of reckless homicide and convicted felon in possession of a handgun for which he received an effective sentence of four years suspended to supervised probation. On appeal, the defendant argues that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction for reckless homicide and asserts that the trial court erred in denying his motion to impeach a State's witness with prior convictions. Following our review of the record, the parties' briefs, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Judge J. Ross Dyer
