STATE OF TENNESSEE v. DEVONTA IVY

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jul 21, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: J. Colin Rosser, Somerville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Devonta Ivy.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Mark E. Davidson, District Attorney General; and Falen Chandler and Erik Haas, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): SWORD

The Defendant, Devonta Ivy, was convicted by a Fayette County jury of aggravated robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon, theft of property, and evading arrest. The trial court entered judgments ordering the Defendant to serve an effective eleven-year sentence consecutively to a previously unserved sentence from Mississippi. On appeal, the Defendant claims that the evidence was insufficient to support each conviction and that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of a prior conviction. Following our review and pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36, we remand for entry of corrected judgments for Counts Three and Four due to clerical errors. Otherwise, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
