Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Patrick T. McNally (on appeal), Jim Todd and Katherine Hagan (at trial), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Brentnol Calvin James.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; William C. Lundy, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Jeffrey A. George and J. Wesley King, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

A Davidson County jury convicted the Defendant, Brentnol Calvin James, of first degree premeditated murder, and the trial court imposed a life sentence. On appeal, the Defendant asserts that the evidence of premeditation was insufficient to support his conviction, and that the trial court erred by failing to provide a jury instruction on self-defense. After review, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
