State v. Farmer

During a robbery, one of the defendants shot the victim in the leg. Although the bullet passed through the victim's leg, the wound required minimal medical treatment and did not cause the victim to suffer a loss of consciousness, extreme pain, disfigurement, or impairment. The defendants were convicted of especially aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery. The court of criminal appeals affirmed the convictions. The Supreme Court modified the convictions for especially aggravated robbery to convictions for aggravated robbery because the victim did not suffer a serious bodily injury as required by Tenn. Code Ann. 39-13-403. Remanded to the trial court for resentencing. View "State v. Farmer" on Justia Law
