State of Tennessee v. Demetrius Robinson

On October 15, 1997, the defendant was convicted of delivering cocaine and he was sentenced to serve four years in the penitentiary.  The defendant was tried along with a co-defendant Reggie Barton. In the course of the trial, statements made by Barton implicated the defendant.  The defendant raises the following issues:  1. Whether the defendant’s Motion To Sever the trial should have been granted?  2. Whether the co-defendant’s statement to the confidential informant should have been excluded or redacted?  We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
