State of Tennessee v. Trenell Lamar Copeland

Syllabus

Defendant, Trenell Lamar Copeland, appeals from his convictions of four counts of aggravated sexual battery of a child. Defendant was found guilty following a jury trial in 2010. On appeal, Defendant argues that (1) the evidence at trial was insufficient to support the convictions, (2) the trial court erred in its instructions to the jury, and (3) the trial court erred by allowing the victim's prior consistent statements to be admitted into evidence. After review of the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Thomas T. Woodall
