State of Tennessee v. Derrick Lemon Goode

A Bedford County Circuit Court jury convicted the defendant, Derrick Lemon Goode, of one count of the sale of .5 grams or more of cocaine, see T.C.A. _ 39-17-417(a)(3) (2006), and one count of the delivery of .5 grams or more of cocaine, see id. _ 39-17-417(a)(2). The trial court merged the convictions and imposed a sentence of 12 years' incarceration. In this appeal, the defendant contends that the trial court erred by failing to excuse a juror for cause, that the trial court erred by denying his pretrial request for material pursuant to Rule 26.2 of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure, that the State withheld exculpatory evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), that the trial court erred by failing to give a limiting instruction regarding the jury's use of the defendant's prior convictions, and that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
