After review, we find the record supports the trial court's sentencing decision and affirm the imposition of total confinement. Jerred A. Creasy, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Robbie Davidson, on appeal. John H. Little, Livingston, Tennessee, for the appellant at trial. A jury found the defendant guilty of two second degree murders, and he received two consecutive 25 year sentences. Identification of the bodies and cause of death were difficult because the bodies had been burned.
Sufficient evidence supports the convictions and the sentences.
Any irregularity in impaneling the jury did not result in prejudice to this defendant. The trial court did not err in admitting a witness' previous preliminary hearing testimony, which contained an audiotaped interview of that witness who experienced memory failure at trial. The trial court also correctly allowed the state to play an audiotaped interview of another witness, offered in response to the defendant's allegations that the witness had been coerced at the interview. The judgment from the trial court is affirmed. Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter, Michael Moore, Solicitor General, Elizabeth T. Ryan, Assistant Attorney General, William Michael McCown, District Attorney General, and Robert G. Crigler, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
