State of Tennessee, Petitioner v. John L. Hatchett, Respondent

Summary

The court reinstated Hatchett's conviction for concealing stolen property, holding that the evidence supported findings that he possessed the recently stolen dogs with knowledge of their character and concealed them by rapidly transporting and selling them. The court also held that his payment to the owner was admissible as evidence bearing on consciousness of guilt and that appellate courts may not reweigh evidence supporting a trial judge's guilty verdict. No separate opinions were filed.
