State of Tennessee, Appellant v. James R. Lemacks, Appellee

Summary

The Tennessee Supreme Court held that a general verdict and jury instruction allowing conviction on either the defendant’s own DUI conduct or criminal responsibility for another’s conduct satisfy the constitutional right to jury unanimity, that sufficient evidence supported the conviction under criminal responsibility, and that the indictment was valid despite not naming the criminal‑responsibility theory. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Criminal Appeals and reinstated the DUI conviction.
