Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Mary Eugenia “Gena” Lewis (at trial, motion for new trial hearing, and on appeal) and T. Scott Jones (at trial and sentencing hearing), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Timothy Dion Wells.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Edwin Alan Groves, Jr., Assistant Attorney General; Charme Allen, District Attorney General; Nathaniel Ogle, Assistant District Attorney General; and Rebecca Spicer-Keller, Special Prosecuting Attorney, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Timothy Dion Wells, was convicted by a Knox County Criminal Court jury of second degree murder, for which he is serving a twenty-two-year sentence as a Range I offender. See T.C.A. § 39-13-210(a)(1) (2018). On appeal, he contends that: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, (2) the trial court erred in various evidentiary rulings, (3) he is entitled to a new trial based upon the cumulative effect of multiple trial errors, and (4) his sentence is excessive. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
