State of Tennessee v. Christopher Carter - Dissenting

Case Number
W2006-02124-CCA-R3-CD

I respectfully dissent from the majority’s holding that sufficient evidence supports the defendant’s conviction of the aggravated assault of Michael Langston. My departure centers around the assault element of “caus[ing] another to reasonably fear imminent bodily injury.” See T.C.A. § 39-13-101 (a)(2) (2006).
