Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 8, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Grace E. Studer (on appeal), Johnson City, Tennessee, and Francis X. Santore, Jr. (at trial), Greeneville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Bobby Joe Waddle.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Brooke A. Huppenthal, Assistant Attorney General; Ken Baldwin, District Attorney General; and Lawrence Scott Shults and Fred M. Lance, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Defendant, Bobby Joe Waddle, was convicted in the Washington County Criminal Court of unlawful possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony crime of violence and was sentenced as a Range III, career offender to thirty years in confinement. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction and that the trial court erred by refusing to bifurcate his trial. Based on our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
