STATE OF TENNESSEE v. SERGEI ALEKSANDROVICH NOVIKOV

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 7, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Nathan Cate, Nashville, Tennessee (on appeal and at trial), for the appellant, Sergei Aleksandrovich Novikov.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; William C. Lundy, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Simone Marshall and Matthew Thomas, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Defendant, Sergei Aleksandrovich Novikov, was convicted by a Davidson County Criminal Court jury of attempted second degree murder, a Class B felony, and aggravated assault, a Class C felony. The trial court merged the aggravated assault conviction into the attempted second degree murder conviction and sentenced the Defendant as a Range I, standard offender to ten years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the Defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and argues that the trial court erred in ordering a sentence of confinement without making proper findings that the Defendant was not entitled to alternative sentencing. Based on our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
