State of Tennessee v. Jeffrey Martin Reaves, alias, Roland Lee Mallin

Case Number
E2003-01899-CCA-R3-CD

A Knox County Criminal Court jury convicted the defendant, Jeffrey Martin Reaves, of voluntary manslaughter, a Class C felony, attempted reckless homicide, a Class E felony, and misdemeanor reckless endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor, and the trial court sentenced him as a Range II, multiple offender to an effective sentence of ten years in the Department of Correction. The defendant appeals, claiming that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions, that the trial court erred in applying certain enhancement factors, and that it erred in ordering consecutive sentencing. Because attempted reckless homicide is not a crime in Tennessee, we vacate the defendant's conviction for that count under plain error review. In all other respects, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
