State vs. James Hankins W1999-00529-CCA-R3-PC Authoring Judge: Judge J. Curwood Witt, Jr. Trial Court Judge: W. Fred Axley James R. Hankins appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. All of his allegations are without merit, save one. Hankins has established by clear and convincing evidence that his counsel on direct appeal failed to follow the required procedures for withdrawal of counsel under Supreme Court Rule 14. Accordingly, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and vacate and reinstate our judgment in Hankins' direct appeal.	Shelby	Court of Criminal Appeals	03/14/00

State vs. Samantha Heard M1999-00246-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge David G. Hayes Trial Court Judge: Judge Seth W. Norman The appellant, Samantha Heard, appeals from a judgment of conviction entered by the Davidson County Criminal Court. The appellant pled guilty to one count of sale of cocaine in excess of .5 grams, a class B felony. As a condition of the plea agreement, the appellant reserved the right to appeal, as a certified question of law, the trial court's denial of her motion to suppress.¹ See Tenn. R. App. P. 3(b); Tenn. R. Crim. P. 37(b). Specifically, she asserts that the facts alleged in the affidavit of the search warrant are insufficient to support a finding of probable cause for the search of her person. After review of the record, we affirm the trial court’s denial of the motion to suppress and affirm the judgment of conviction.	Davidson	Court of Criminal Appeals	03/09/00

State of Tennessee v. Khanh V. Le - Concurring and Dissenting W1998-00637-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Thomas T. Woodall Trial Court Judge: Judge W. Fred Axley I concur with Judge Ogle’s opinion concerning the issue of sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the conviction for first degree murder and the issue regarding the suppression of identification testimony. I concur that the trial court did not err by refusing to charge voluntary manslaughter as a lesser-included offense. I also concur that the trial court erred by failing to charge second degree murder as a lesser-included offense. However, I dissent from the majority opinion’s conclusion that this error was not reversible error.	Shelby	Court of Criminal Appeals	03/09/00

State of Tennessee v. Khanh V. Le W1998-00637-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Norma McGee Ogle Trial Court Judge: Judge W. Fred Axley On November 10, 1997, the appellant, Khanh V. Le, was convicted by a jury in the Shelby County Criminal Court of first degree murder. The trial court sentenced the appellant to life imprisonment in the Tennessee Department of Correction. In this appeal as of right, the appellant presents the following issues for our review: (I) Whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain the appellant’s conviction of first degree murder; (II) Whether the trial court erred by refusing to charge any lesser included offenses to first degree murder; (III) Whether the trial court erred by denying the appellant’s motion to suppress identification testimony. Following a review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Shelby	Court of Criminal Appeals	03/09/00
