Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 14, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Corbin H. Payne (at trial and on appeal) and Brian Sableman (at trial), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Anthony Wayne Foust.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Garrett D. Ward, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jared Effler, District Attorney General; and David Pollard and Lindsey Cadle, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

A Campbell County jury convicted Defendant, Anthony Wayne Foust, of theft of property valued at $2,500 or more, and the trial court sentenced him to twelve years of incarceration to be served as a career offender at 60 percent service. On appeal, Defendant contends that (1) the State failed to disclose evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); (2) the State failed to preserve evidence in violation State v. Ferguson, 2 S.W.3d 912 (Tenn. 1999); and (3) the trial court erred in limiting Defendant’s closing argument. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
