State of Tennessee v. Alfred Eugene Bradley

The defendant was convicted by a Hamilton County Criminal Court jury of four counts of attempted first degree murder, Class A felonies; aggravated arson, a Class A felony; and false imprisonment, assault, and theft under $500, all Class A misdemeanors. He was sentenced by the trial court to an effective sentence of twenty-two years and six months in the Department of Correction. Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, the defendant filed a timely appeal to this court, raising the following issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to support his convictions for aggravated arson and attempted first degree murder; (2) whether the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress his statements to law enforcement officers; (3) whether the trial court erred in allowing the State to call a rebuttal witness during the presentation of its case in chief; (4) whether the trial court properly sentenced the defendant for his attempted first degree murder and aggravated arson convictions; and (5) whether the cumulative errors prevented the defendant from receiving a fair trial. Based on our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court, but remand for entry of a corrected judgment for the defendant's assault conviction in Count 2 of Case No. 234375.
