State vs. Gordon Scott Katz E1999-01220-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Norma McGee Ogle Trial Court Judge: James B. Scott, Jr. The appellant, Gordon Scott Katz, was found guilty by a jury in the Criminal Court of Anderson County of one count of auto burglary, a class E felony, and one count of theft under $500, a class A misdemeanor. Subsequently, the trial judge granted the appellant's motion for judgment of acquittal. The State appealed. This court reversed the trial court's judgment of acquittal and remanded for further proceedings. The appellant then moved for a new trial. The trial court denied the appellant's motion for new trial, stating that the opinion of this court mandated a reinstatement of the jury's verdict. The appellant appeals and presents the following issues for our review: (1) whether the trial court erred in ruling that the previous order of the Court of Criminal Appeals required denial of the motion for new trial; (2) whether the indictment in this case is fatally defective such as to require dismissal of this charge; (3) whether the evidence of intent to commit a felony is insufficient to support the conviction; and, (4) whether the evidence of intent to deprive the owner is insufficient to support the conviction. Upon review of the record and the parties' briefs, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand for a new trial.	Anderson	Court of Criminal Appeals	12/01/10

The trial court subsequently imposed concurrent sentences of eighteen years, eighteen years, and life. Defendant challenges her convictions, raising the following issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to support her convictions; (2) whether the trial court erred when it failed to sever the trials for the charges in this case; and (3) whether the trial court erred when it failed to grant a motion for a mistrial. The judgment of the trial court is reversed, and the case is remanded for a new trial.	McMinn	Court of Criminal Appeals	12/01/10

State vs. Ann Elizabeth Martin E1999-01361-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Thomas T. Woodall Trial Court Judge: Stephen M. Bevil Defendant Ann Elizabeth Martin was convicted of driving under the influence, first offense. In this appeal as of right she argues (1) the trial court erred when it did not suppress blood test results because of statutory and constitutional infirmities in the implied consent form; and (2) the stop of her vehicle and subsequent arrest are unconstitutional because the arresting officer did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion warranting a traffic stop. Held: the implied consent form complies with the statutory requirements. However, the officer who arrested Defendant did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion warranting a traffic stop. Defendant's conviction is reversed, and the case is remanded for dismissal of the charge.	Hamilton	Court of Criminal Appeals	12/01/10
