State s. Nathaniel Allen E1999-02209-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Norma McGee Ogle Trial Court Judge: James Edward Beckner The appellant, Nathaniel Allen, was convicted by a jury in the Hamblen County Circuit Court of one count of delivery of more than .5 grams of cocaine, a class B felony. The trial court sentenced the appellant to twelve years incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction, as a Range I offender, with thirty percent release eligibility and assessed a fine of $ 7,500. The appellant presents the following issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence in this case is sufficient to sustain a verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) whether the testimony, under oath, of Tonya Acuff was so contradictory as to have been subject to cancellation; (3) whether the court's decision to send items to the jury room in this case was improper to the extent that it included typed transcripts of tapes not offered as evidence; (4) whether it was improper for the court to align one of the tapes introduced into evidence by the State in this case to a particular phrase so that the jury heard that phrase immediately upon turning on the tape recorder; (5) whether sentencing in this case was excessive and whether the court properly applied statutory guidelines in delivering a sentence in this case; (6) whether if, in fact, the trial court had no alternative but to give a twelve-year sentence in this case according to the Tennessee sentencing guidelines, then are those guidelines constitutional both in terms of the United States and Tennessee constitutions. Upon review of the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm the appellant's convictions, but modify his sentence to ten years.	Hamblen	Court of Criminal Appeals	06/28/00

State vs. Matthew Douglas Cox E1999-00351-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Norma McGee Ogle Trial Court Judge: Richard R. Baumgartner The appellant, Matthew Douglas Cox, appeals his convictions by a jury in the Knox County Criminal Court of two counts of aggravated rape and one count of incest. The trial court imposed concurrent sentences of twenty years incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction for the aggravated rape convictions and three years incarceration for the incest conviction. On appeal, the appellant presents the following issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence adduced at trial supports his convictions of aggravated rape and incest; (2) whether the trial court erroneously admitted into evidence a tape recording of the victim's 911 telephone call; (3) whether the trial court erred in effectively limiting defense counsel's cross-examination of the State's expert witness concerning the results of a DNA analysis of semen samples obtained from the victim; (4) whether the trial court erred in admitting into evidence testimony concerning the circumstances of the appellant's arrest; (5) whether the State committed prosecutorial misconduct during closing argument; and (6) whether the cumulative effect of these errors requires the reversal of the appellant's convictions. Following a review of the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm in part and reverse in part the judgments of the trial court.	Knox	Court of Criminal Appeals	06/27/00
