Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 18, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: David A. Stuart, Clinton, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Constance Monieka Every.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Katherine C. Redding, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Charme Allen, District Attorney General; Sean McDermott, Deputy District Attorney General; Franklin Ammos, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Constance Monieka Every, was convicted by a Knox County Criminal Court jury of assault by extremely offensive or provocative contact, a Class B misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct by making unreasonable noise, a Class C misdemeanor. See T.C.A. §§ 39-13-101(a)(3) (Supp. 2024) (assault); 39-17-305(b) (2018) (disorderly conduct). On appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the indictment was insufficient to provide notice of the charged offenses, (2) the evidence is insufficient to support her convictions, and (3) the trial court erred in not instructing the jury on self- defense. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
