State of Tennessee v. Jeffrey Stanley Mitchell

The defendant, Jeffrey Stanley Mitchell, appeals his Knox County Criminal Court jury
convictions of one count of facilitation of the possession with intent to sell more than 26
grams of cocaine within a drug-free school zone, one count of third offense simple
possession of marijuana, two counts of the facilitation of the sale of .5 grams or more of
cocaine within a drug-free school zone, and two counts of the sale of .5 grams or more
of cocaine within a drug free school zone, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to
support his convictions. Because our supreme court has determined that the provisions
of the Drug-Free School Zone Act do not apply to convictions of facilitation, the
sentences imposed for the defendant’s convictions of facilitation must be reversed and
the case remanded for resentencing on those counts. The judgments of the trial court
are affirmed in all other respects.
