State of Tennessee v. Richard Faulk
Syllabus
A Maury County jury convicted the Defendant, Richard Faulk, of aggravated vehicular homicide, and he was subsequently sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. In this direct appeal, the Defendant argues the trial court erred in (1) allowing two Tennessee State Troopers who were certified as experts in accident reconstruction to testify as experts in occupant kinetics and (2) allowing the State to introduce a copy of the Defendant's Tennessee Department of Safety driving record as evidence of his prior convictions when a copy of the driving record was not provided to the Defendant at the arraignment as required by Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-10-405(d). The Defendant also argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Judges: Presiding Judge Camille R. McMullen
