State vs. Gabriel Clark W2000-02595-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge David G. Hayes Trial Court Judge: Roy B. Morgan, Jr. The appellant, Gabriel Antonio Clark, was convicted by a Madison County jury for one count of felony murder and one count of aggravated robbery. Clark was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder conviction and, following a sentencing hearing, received a twelve-year sentence for aggravated robbery. The sentences were ordered to be served consecutively. On appeal, Clark raises the following issues for our review: (1) Whether the evidence presented at trial is sufficient to support his convictions; and (2) whether the trial court erred by failing to exclude or redact a portion of Clark's statement to police which he contends was highly prejudicial and in violation of Tenn. R. Evid. 403. After review, we find no reversible error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Madison	Court of Criminal Appeals	11/11/98

State of Tennessee vs. Cedrick Stampley 02C01-9707-CR-00288 Authoring Judge: Judge John P. Colton Trial Court Judge: Judge William M. Barker The appellant, Cedric Stampley, appeals as of right the denial in the Shelby County Criminal Court of his petition for post-conviction relief. The trial court dismissed appellant’s pro se petition without the appointment of counsel and without an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, appellant argues that the trial court erred in summarily dismissing his petition. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Shelby	Court of Criminal Appeals	11/04/98
State of Tennessee vs. James Christopher Tatrow 03C01-9707-CR-00299 Authoring Judge: Judge Curwood Witt Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Turnbull A jury in Cumberland County Criminal Court convicted the defendant, James Christopher Tatrow, of two counts of felony murder and two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping in the deaths of Roger Zammit and John Harry. The defendant was also convicted of two counts of premeditated and deliberate murder of the same victims. The trial court set aside those verdicts, however, as the thirteenth juror. See Tenn. R. Crim. P. 33 (f). In the sentencing phase, the jury declined to impose the death penalty or life without parole and sentenced the defendant to serve life sentences with the possibility of parole. At the conclusion of a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the defendant to serve two consecutive life sentences concurrently with sentences of 22 years for the kidnapping convictions. The defendant now challenges the validity of the convictions and the propriety of consecutive sentencing pursuant to Rule 3 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure.
