Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 13, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Josie S. Holland (on appeal) and Joseph McClusky (at trial), Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Mitchell Hopkins.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; G. Kirby May, Assistant Attorney General; Steven J. Mulroy, District Attorney General; and Forrest Edwards and Chris Lareau, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

A Shelby County jury convicted Defendant, Mitchell Hopkins, of attempted first degree murder, aggravated assault while acting in concert with two or more people, reckless endangerment by discharging a firearm into an occupied habitation, and the employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. The trial court imposed an effective twenty-one-year sentence. On appeal, Defendant contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions; (2) the trial court erred in denying his motions for a severance and for a mistrial and in admitting statements from a non-testifying co- defendant; and (3) the trial court erred in admitting a video compilation. Upon review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
