PAUL CLIFFORD MOORE JR. v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 28, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Paul Clifford Moore, Jr., Henning, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; J. Katie Neff; Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Larry Dillon, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Petitioner, Paul Clifford Moore, Jr., appeals the Knox County Criminal Court’s summary dismissal of his “Motion for Plain Error Review in an Alternative Petition for Extraordinary Writ.” He argues that the trial court’s sequential jury instructions were improper and prevented the jury from returning a verdict of voluntary manslaughter rather than second degree murder. Upon review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we conclude that Petitioner does not have an appeal as of right under Rule.
