State of Tennessee v. Susan Lynette Baker
Annotate this CaseAuthoring Judge: Judge James Curwood Witt, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge Buddy D. Perry
The defendant, Susan Lynette Baker, appeals her Sequatchie County Circuit Court jury convictions of felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, and setting fire to personal property, claiming that the trial court erred by refusing to suppress the pretrial statement she provided to the police, the evidence of her theft of property from the victim s residence, and the surveillance video from a motel; that the trial court erred by denying her motion to sever the arson charge from the remaining charges; that the evidence was insufficient to support her convictions of felony murder and especially aggravated robbery; and that the very nature of the felony murder statute violates principles of due process. Discerning no error, we affirm.
