State of Tennessee v. Shane Dwight Bingham
Syllabus
The Defendant, Shane Dwight Bingham, appeals from his convictions for attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault, and employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. On appeal, the Defendant argues that (1) the evidence was insufficient to establish his identity as the perpetrator of the offenses (2) the trial court erred by admitting evidence of the Defendant's flight from police and (3) the trial court erred by instructing the jury on flight. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
