Virginia Graf Waddey v. Ira Clinton Waddey, Jr. 01S01-9811-CV-00198 Authoring Judge: Justice Janice M. Holder Trial Court Judge: Judge Robert E. Corlew, III We granted this appeal to determine whether a party receiving periodic alimony may obtain a modification or extension of alimony when: 1) a termination date was agreed to by the parties in their property settlement agreement; and 2) the petition to modify was filed after the termination date but prior to the expiration of thirty days. We hold that the alimony was not modifiable after one of the contingencies listed in the property settlement agreement occurred.

State of Tennessee v. Jerry Wayne Edison 03S01-9803-CC-00022 Authoring Judge: Justice Adolpho A. Birch Trial Court Judge: Judge Ben W. Hooper, II We granted this Tenn. R. App. P. 11 appeal to determine the appropriate standard of review of a trial court’s decision to admit a breath-alcohol test result under State v. Sensing, 843 S.W.2d 412 (Tenn. 1992). The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the trial court had not abused its discretion in admitting the test result of the defendant, Jerry Wayne Edison.1 We affirm the judgment of the intermediate appellate court and conclude that a trial court’s Sensing decision must be presumed correct on appeal unless the preponderance of the evidence is to the contrary.

State of Tennessee v. James R. Lemacks 01S01-9803-CC-00049 Authoring Judge: Justice William M. Barker Trial Court Judge: Judge Robert E. Burch We granted this appeal by the State of Tennessee to address the issue of jury unanimity in cases where the State relies on alternative theories of guilt to convict an accused under a single count indictment. In this case, the appellee, James Lemacks, was charged with driving under the influence of an intoxicant (DUI). The trial court instructed the jury that it could convict the appellee of DUI based upon evidence that he operated his automobile while intoxicated or that he was criminally responsible for allowing his friend, Clinton Sanchez, to drive the automobile while intoxicated. The jury returned a general verdict convicting the appellee of DUI.	Humphreys	Supreme Court	07/06/99
State of Tennessee v. James R. Lemacks - Dissenting 01S01-9803-CR-00049 Authoring Judge: Justice Adolpho A. Birch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Judge Robert E. Burch Because the opinion filed by the Court of Criminal Appeals states the view I take, I respectfully dissent from the view held by the majority of my colleagues and would adopt the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
