STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ROBERT JOSEPH MCBRIDE

Syllabus

Defendant, Robert Joseph McBride, was indicted by the Bedford County Grand Jury for one count of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor involving a number of materials exceeding 25 eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, each involving a number of materials exceeding 100 and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor involving a number of materials exceeding 50. Following the trial court's denial of Defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained pursuant to a warrant to search Defendant's house and computer, Defendant entered guilty pleas to eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor involving materials exceeding 100, all Class B felonies. The agreed upon sentence was 12 years on each count, to be served concurrently. Defendant reserved for our review eight certified questions of law. We conclude that only Defendant's question regarding the staleness of the information supporting the search warrant, is dispositive. After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
