State Tennessee v. Hobart "Doc" Barton

TATUM, Judge. OPINION Defendant was convicted of the offense of an attempt to commit the felony of selling a controlled substance and sentenced to serve eleven months and twenty-nine days in the county jail plus a Five Hundred Dollar ($500) fine. On this appeal, (1) he contests the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict; (2) he says the evidence does not sustain a conviction under T.C.A. § 39-603; (3) he complains of a comment made by the prosecuting witness which he avers was a deliberate and calculated attempt to influence and prejudice the jury. After considering the record, we have concluded that the judgment must be affirmed.
