APPELLATE COURT OPINIONS

The appellant, Betty W . Norman, was convicted by a Moore County jury of two (2) counts of reckless endangerment, a Class E felony, and one (1) count of harassment, a Class A misdemeanor. The trial court sentenced the appellant as a Range I offender to consecutive terms of one (1) year and three (3) months and one (1) year and two (2) months for the reckless endangerment convictions. The appellant received a concurrent sentence of six (6) months for her conviction for harassment. The trial court ordered tha t the appellant serve her sentences in confinement. On appeal, the appellant presents the following issues for our
review:

(1) whether the trial court erred in limiting the appellant’s crossexamination of a state w itness reg arding the trajectory of a bullet and by subsequently instructing the jury to disregard the witness’ testimon y regardin g the trajec tory of the bullet;
(2) whether the trial court erred in failing to allow the appellant to question the victims, Robert and Loretta Norman, regarding anydomestic problems between them;
(3) whether the evidence was sufficient to support the a ppellant’s convictions beyond a reasonable doubt;
(4) whether the trial court imposed excessive sentences;
(5) whether the trial court erred in imposing consecutive sentences; and
(6) whether the trial court erred in denying probation.

After a thorough review of the record before this Court, we conclude that theappellant was erroneously convicted of two (2) co unts of reckless endangerment arising out of the same course of conduct. Therefore, the appellant’s conviction for reckless endangerment in Count One is merged with her conviction for reckless endangerment in Count Two. In all other respects, however, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

In this capital case, the appellant, Gaile K. Owens, appeals as of right the judgment of the Criminal Court of Shelby County denying her petition for postconviction relief. In 1986, the appellant was convicted of accessory before the fact to first degree murder. In a joint trial, the appellant’s co-defendant, Sidney Porterfield, was also convicted of first degree murder and following a separate sentencing hearing, both were sentenced to death by electrocution. The appellant’s conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal by the Tennessee Supreme Court. See State v. Porterfield, 746 S.W.2d 441 (Tenn.), reh’g denied, (1988), cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1017, 108 S.Ct. 1756 (1988).
