  1. State v. Martin

    505 S.W.3d 492 (Tenn. 2016)   Cited 107 times
    Holding that publication of mugshots in a state-run "Who's in Jail?" website was not "improper state action in the identification procedure"

    The fact that a firearm was the means of accomplishing the force or intimidation does not transform the use of the firearm into an essential element of the carjacking offense if the indictment charged carjacking "by force or intimidation." See Garrett v. State, No. W2012–01994–CCA–R3–PC, 2014 WL 1410292, at *5–7 (Tenn. Crim. App. Apr. 10, 2014) (concluding that dual convictions for carjacking by force or intimidation and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony do not constitute double jeopardy); see also Thomas v. State, No. W2012–01646–CCA–R3–PC, 2013 WL 5761398 (Tenn. Crim. App. June 28, 2013) (making a similar finding). Accordingly, we hold that the defendant's convictions for carjacking and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony violate neither double jeopardy nor Tennessee Code Annotated section 39–17–1324(c).

    Concluding that convictions for aggravated burglary and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony did not violate principles of double jeopardy

    The defendant in Jeremiah Dawson was charged with carjacking by means of force or intimidation, rather than by means of a deadly weapon; therefore, his conviction under the firearms statute did not violate double jeopardy principles nor did it contravene section 1324(c). See also James Garrett v. State, No. W2012-01994-CCA-R3-PC, 2014 WL 1410292, at *6 (Tenn. Crim. App. Apr. 10, 2014); Oscar Thomas v. State, No. W2012-01646-CCA-R3-PC, 2013 WL 5761398, at *5-8 (Tenn.
