Stephen Ray Bunch, Petitioner v. State of Tennessee, Respondent

Summary

The court affirmed Bunch's armed-robbery conviction, holding that evidence of an earlier robbery was properly admitted to establish his identity as the unidentified third participant in the charged robbery. The earlier robbery involved the same two identified accomplices, occurred nearby on the same day, and shared other circumstances with the charged offense; its probative value was not outweighed by prejudice. The court also rejected Bunch's remaining contentions as meritless.
