State vs. Michelle Ferguson
E1999-01302-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Thomas T. Woodall
Trial Court Judge: Carroll L. Ross
Defendant Michelle Ferguson was convicted by a jury of two counts of aggravated child abuse and one count of first degree murder in perpetration of aggravated child abuse. 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.

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.
