State of Tennessee v. Teresa Sumpter

Syllabus

A Shelby County jury convicted the defendant, Teresa Sumpter, for the Class A felony of theft of property valued over $250,000 and for the Class B felony of money laundering. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of sixty years to be served in the Tennessee Department of Correction and ordered the defendant pay $373,412.77 in restitution. The defendant filed this timely appeal, challenging the evidence supporting her theft conviction and the trial court's ruling allowing the defendant's prior theft convictions to be entered into evidence. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
