Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 12, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joshua H. Jenne, Cleveland, Tennessee, for the appellants, John William Owens, Melanie Hollis, Lydia Hollis, and Natalie Hollis.

Attorneys 2: Bob E. Lype and Phillip C. Lawrence, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Meredith Elizabeth Owens.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this matter involving alleged violations of federal and state wiretapping statutes, evidence was presented to a jury during a two-day trial. Following the conclusion of the trial, the jury deliberated and ultimately found in favor of the defendant. The trial court entered judgment for the defendant, and the plaintiffs filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, alternatively, for a new trial. The trial court denied the motion, and the plaintiffs timely appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
