Lance Miller will be before the Tennessee Supreme Court on February 2, 2011. The case is State v. Jason Lee White. Mr. White was previously convicted of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, and especially aggravated kidnapping. Lance Miller filed a motion to set aside the conviction for especially aggravated kidnapping, which was denied by the trial court. Mr. Miller appealed this ruling, arguing that Mr. White's right to due process of law was denied with convictions of both aggravated robbery and kidnapping where the acts involved in the kidnapping were essentially incidental to the robbery. The case was heard before the Court of Criminal Appeals in February, 2010. In May, 2010, the appellate court agreed with Mr. Miller. They reversed and dismissed Mr. White's conviction for especially aggravated kidnapping, which effectively reduced Mr. White's sentence by 25 years. The State appealed to the Tennessee Supreme Court. Both sides have submitted their briefs to the Supreme Court. The case is set for argument on February 2, 2011. We believe that the Court of Criminal Appeals' decision was consistent with previous caselaw and will vigorously argue that the Tennessee Supreme Court should affirm the Court of Appeals' ruling.
