STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ARVEL JOSHUA TERRY

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 27, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Travis Jones, District Public Defender, and Robert R. Wagonschutz, Assistant District Public Defender (on appeal and at trial); and Luke A. Johnson, Assistant District Public Defender (at trial), for the appellant, Arvel Joshua Terry.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth Evans, Assistant Attorney General; Brent A. Cooper, District Attorney General; and Kyle Dodd, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

A Maury County jury convicted the Defendant, Arvel Joshua Terry, of domestic assault. The trial court sentenced him to a term of eleven months and twenty-nine days, which was suspended after service of 120 days in custody. On appeal, the Defendant raises two issues: (1) whether the evidence is legally sufficient to support his conviction for domestic assault; and (2) whether the trial court improperly denied defense counsel the opportunity to refresh a witness’s recollection. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgment of the trial court.
