State of Tennessee v. Shanthony Tywon Mays

Syllabus

Defendant, Shanthony Tywon Mays, was convicted by an Obion County Jury of one count of aggravated robbery, three counts of aggravated assault, and one count of unlawful possession of a weapon. The trial court imposed a sentence of twelve years for aggravated robbery, four years for each count of aggravated assault, and four years for unlawful possession of a weapon, to be served concurrently with each other and consecutively to the sentence in an unrelated case. On appeal, Defendant raises the following issues: (1) whether the trial court properly overruled Defendant's objection to the jury venire (2) whether the trial court properly instructed the jury concerning possession of recently stolen property (3) whether the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant's convictions and (4) whether the trial court erred in denying Defendant's motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Presiding Judge Thomas T. Woodall
