STATE OF TENNESSEE v. WILLIAM DANGELO PENNY

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 25, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: J. Colin Morris, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellant, William Dangelo Penny.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; Jody S. Pickens, District Attorney General; and Justin Prescott, Assistant District Attorney General for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

In 2024, a Madison County jury convicted the Defendant, William Dangelo Penny, of felony evading arrest, misdemeanor evading arrest, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving while his license was suspended. The trial court sentenced him to nine years of incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions. He also contends that his motion for a continuance of his trial should have been granted. The State notes that the appeal is untimely. After review, we dismiss the appeal.
