STATE OF TENNESSEE v. TERRELL SHANNON

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 7, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gerald S. Green (on appeal) and John Dolan (at trial), Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Terrell Shannon.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; G. Kirby May, Assistant Attorney General; Steven J. Mulroy, District Attorney General; and Eric Christensen and Dru Carpenter, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Terrell Shannon, was convicted by a Shelby County jury of rape of a child and aggravated assault. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of forty-six years. Defendant appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for rape of a child and that his convictions violate double jeopardy protections. Upon our review, we conclude that Defendant has failed to prepare a sufficient brief in compliance with Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 27(a)(7) and Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals Rule 10(b). Accordingly, his issues are waived, and the appeal is dismissed.
