State Tennessee v. Raymond Eugene Teague

This is a direct appeal of a death penalty. In an earlier trial, the defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to death by electrocution for the killing of his ex-wife, Terri Teague. The conviction was affirmed on appeal, but the sentence of death was reversed and the case was remanded for a re-sentencing hearing. State v. Teague, 645 S.W.2d 392 (Tenn. 1983). In the re-sentencing hearing, the jury again fixed defendants sentence as death by electrocution. It is from this sentence that the present appeal is taken.
