Jimmy Sills vs. State of Tennessee and Jack Morgan, Warden

Case Number
01C01-9810-CC-00434

The Defendant, Jimmy Sills, appeals the trial court’s summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. In his pro se brief to this C ourt, Defendant argues that his convictions for first degree murder and for use of a firearm during commission of a felony violate double jeopardy because the use of a firearm is an essential element of first degree murder. For the same reasons this issue was previously determined to be without merit, we affirm the judgment of the trial cou rt.
