State of Tennessee v. Randy Johnson

The Defendant, Randy Johnson, was convicted by a Shelby County jury of second degree murder and tampering with evidence, and the trial court imposed an effective sentence of fifteen years’ incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions and that the trial court erred by denying his request for jury instructions on the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter and on the defense of alibi. Following our review, we affirm the convictions but remand this case for entry of corrected judgments of conviction consistent with this opinion.
