| Health Controls vs. Ronald Gifford
W1999-02598-COA-R3-CV
This is an insurance case. The defendant sustained injuries in an automobile accident while riding as a passenger in a car owned by his mother. The defendant's insurance policy did not cover expenses for injuries "when a person, other than the person for whom the claim is made, is considered responsible for the sickness or injury." Unaware of any third party responsible for the accident, the insurance company paid part of the defendant's medical bills. The defendant subsequently recovered from his mother's automobile insurance carrier. When the defendant's insurance company learned of the subsequent recovery, it filed suit seeking repayment of the amount it paid for the defendant's medical bills. The trial court granted summary judgment to the insurance company, finding that it was entitled to recovery based on the policy. The defendant appeals. We affirm, finding inter alia that a person need not be at fault in the automobile accident to be "considered responsible" under the policy.

M1999-00008-WC-R3-CV
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _5-6-225(e)(3) (1999) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Appellate review of factual issues in workers' compensation cases is de novo with a presumption that the trial court's findings are correct, unless the preponderance of the evidence is otherwise. Tenn. Code Ann. _5-6-225(e)(2) (1999); Hill vs. Eagle Bend Mfg., Inc., 942 S.W. 2d 483, 487 (Tenn. 1997). When a trial court has seen and heard witnesses and issues of credibility and weight of testimony are involved, considerable deference is afforded the trial court's findings of fact. See Humphrey vs. David Witherspoon, Inc., 734 S.W. 2d 315, 315-16 (Tenn. 1987).

| Issac Earl Edgin vs. State
M1999-01620-CCA-R3-PC
The petitioner appeals from a Montgomery County trial court's order dismissing his petition for post-conviction relief. He argues that he is entitled to a new trial because, among other things, his trial counsel provided him ineffective assistance of counsel. Because the judgment fails to contain findings of fact and conclusions of law, the order dismissing this cause is reversed and the case is remanded to the trial court for a new post-conviction proceeding.

| State vs. Andrew Charles Helton
M1999-01405-CCA-R3-CD
The Defendant, Andrew Charles Helton, was indicted, along with co-defendants Shirley Crowell and Shayne Cochran, for two counts of premeditated murder and two counts of felony murder for the shooting deaths of Robert Cole and Michael Chatman. After the trial court granted a motion for a judgment of acquittal on the felony murder charges, the Defendant was convicted by a jury of first degree murder for the death of Robert Cole and of second degree murder for the death of Michael Chatman. The Defendant was sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment for the first degree murder conviction and to twenty-three years imprisonment for the second degree murder conviction. The Defendant now appeals and argues that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to sustain his convictions. The Defendant also contends that the trial court erred in admitting certain crime scene and autopsy photographs into evidence. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we find no merit to the Defendant's contentions and thus affirm his convictions.

| State vs. Harold Wayne Shaw
M1999-01119-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant, Harold Wayne Shaw, was convicted by a Davidson County jury of second-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in 1996. The trial court sentenced the defendant as a Range II offender to serve eighteen (18) years for the aggravated kidnapping and thirty-five (35) years for the second-degree murder, both sentences to be served consecutively. Following the defendant's direct appeal, this Court affirmed the defendant's conviction but remanded the case to the trial court for resentencing because the trial court mistakenly sentenced the defendant as a Range II, persistent offender, misapplied two statutory enhancement factors, and failed to make findings of fact and conclusions of law sufficient to support the imposition of consecutive sentences. The trial court then resentenced the defendant as a Range I, standard offender to serve ten (10) years for the aggravated kidnapping and twenty-two (22) years for the second-degree murder. The court again ordered the sentences to be served consecutively. On appeal, this Court finds (1) that the length of the defendant's sentence is appropriate, and (2) that although the record does not support the trial court's finding that the defendant is a professional criminal, the trial court was correct in finding that the defendant has an extensive criminal history; thus consecutive sentences are also appropriate. The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed.
