Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 21, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Dillon E. Zinser, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Ronald Eugene Fox, II.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Rachel Hill and Cameron Williams, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, Ronald Eugene Fox, II, appeals his Knox County Criminal Court jury convictions of first degree murder, tampering with evidence, and initiating a false report. He challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence for his first degree murder conviction, the trial court’s denial of his motion to continue, and the trial court’s refusal to instruct the jury on voluntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense of first degree murder. Defendant also argues that the cumulative effect of the errors at trial warrants reversal of his convictions. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
