State of Tennessee v. Kevin Patterson aka John O'Keefe Varner aka John O'Keefe Kitchen-Concurring in part and dissenting in part

I agree with the majority opinion’s conclusions with respect to the issues raised by Defendant in his direct appeal.  I respectfully disagree with the conclusion reached by the majority as it relates to section V of the opinion.  I am unable to agree with the statement that the trial court committed an error that breached a clear and unequivocal rule of law in sentencing Defendant to life without the possibility of parole pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 40-35-120.
