Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 18, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: L. Scott Grissom, McMinnville, Tennessee, for the appellant, William DeJesus Fernandez.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; G. Kirby May, Assistant Attorney General; Christopher R. Stanford, District Attorney General; and Felicia Walkup, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, William Dejesus Fernandez, was convicted by a Warren County jury of attempted first degree murder where the victim suffered serious bodily injury, employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and two counts of aggravated assault. He received an effective sentence of twenty-seven years’ incarceration. Defendant appeals, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Upon review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court but remand for entry of a corrected judgment for count two consistent with this opinion.
