State of Tennessee v. Charles L. Williams - Concurring and Dissenting

Case Number
M2005-00836-CCA-R3-CD

I concur in the results and most of the reasoning in the majority opinion. In this regard, I view the prosecutor’s improper statements to be a matter of serious concern. I disagree, however, with the opinion’s conclusion that the trial court erred by instructing the jury as to a reckless mental state regarding rape of a child.
