State vs. George Redd W2000-01620-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge David H. Welles Trial Court Judge: Joseph B. Dailey Following a jury trial, the defendant, George Redd, was convicted of burglary. He was sentenced as a career offender to twelve years incarceration. In this appeal as of right, the defendant asserts that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his conviction and that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offenses of burglary. We hold that the evidence was sufficient to support the defendant's conviction but that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser included offenses of burglary. Because we conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Shelby	Court of Criminal Appeals	05/12/99

Jimmy Sills vs. State of Tennessee and Jack Morgan, Warden 01C01-9810-CC-00434 Authoring Judge: Judge David H. Welles Trial Court Judge: Judge Timothy L. Easter The Defendant, Jimmy Sills, appeals the trial court’s summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. In his pro se brief to this C ourt, Defendant argues that his convictions for first degree murder and for use of a firearm during commission of a felony violate double jeopardy because the use of a firearm is an essential element of first degree murder. For the same reasons this issue was previously determined to be without merit, we affirm the judgment of the trial cou rt.	Hickman	Court of Criminal Appeals	05/06/99
James Gordon Coons, III vs. State of Tennessee 01C01-9801-CR-00014 Authoring Judge: Judge Joseph M. Tipton Trial Court Judge: Judge Ann Lacy Johns I concur with the majority opinion. I note, though, that the case upon which the opinion relies to conclude that the statute of limitations may not be raised for the first time on appeal was decided under the former post-conviction procedure act. I am hesitant to say that such a total bar exists under the 1995 Post-Conviction Procedure Act, given the affirmative duty of the trial court to assess the timeliness of the petition regardless of whether it is raised by the state as a defense and the apparent jurisdictional effect of the running of the statute.
