George French vs. State, Ricky Bell, Warden 01C01-9801-CR-00022 Trial Court Judge: J. Randall Wyatt, Jr.	Davidson	Court of Criminal Appeals	01/12/99
State vs. Christopher Bengston E1999-01190-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn Trial Court Judge: R. Steven Bebb The defendant, Christopher Bengtson, was convicted by a McMinn County jury of three counts of reckless endangerment committed with a deadly weapon, a Class E felony. In this appeal as of right, the defendant raises two issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict; and (2) whether the trial court erred in failing to merge the three counts into one. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law for the jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of felony reckless endangerment. We agree with the defendant and the State that the three counts constituted a single course of conduct and should have been merged into one. We therefore affirm the felony reckless endangerment conviction for count one of the indictment but vacate the convictions for counts two and three.	McMinn	Court of Criminal Appeals	01/12/99

State of Tennessee vs. Rodney Ford - Dissenting 01C01-9708-CR-00365 Authoring Judge: Judge Joe G. Riley Trial Court Judge: Judge Thomas H. Shriver I respectfully disagree with the majority’s conclusion that there was an illegal entry into the defendant’s home. Because I believe the entry into the residence and the seizure of property were proper, I further disagree that the matter should be remanded for further proceedings to determine the admissibility of the written confession. I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Davidson	Court of Criminal Appeals	01/07/99
