State of Tennessee v. James Michael Moffitt

Case Number
E2003-01614-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, James Michael Moffitt, appeals from the Hamblen County Criminal Court's imposition of a conviction of rape and a sentence of ten years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence and the propriety of a ten-year sentence. Because the conviction is unsupported by sufficient evidence establishing the corpus delicti, we reverse the conviction and dismiss the indictment.
