Description
The defendant, Norman Bernard Butler, appeals as of right from his conviction for criminally negligent homicide, a Class E felony, which he received in a jury trial in the Dickson County Circuit Court. He was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to two years of which one year is to be served in confinement and to perform two hundred hours of public service work. He contends (1) that the statutory definition of criminal negligence violates due process for vagueness, (2) that the trial court erred by instructing the jury that a nontestifying eyewitness, Patricia Harrington, had asserted her Fifth Amendment privilege and would not testify, and (3) that the trial court erred in requiring confinement as part of the sentence.
