State of Tennessee v. Steven Dalton

A Hickman County Criminal Court jury found the defendant, Steven Dalton, guilty of voluntary manslaughter for the killing of a fellow inmate. The trial court imposed a six-year sentence to be served consecutively to the defendant's existing life sentence. The defendant appeals his conviction, claiming: (1) the trial court erred in allowing the State to impeach him with his prior felony murder conviction and (2) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for voluntary manslaughter. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
