Description
Respondent John Edward Black was convicted in the Criminal Court of Shelby County, Tennessee of robbery by the use of a deadly weapon and of assault with intent to commit murder in the second degree. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction for robbery, but the majority of that Court reversed the conviction of assault with intent to commit murder. The majority opinion was to the effect that this second conviction could not stand in light of the ruling of this Court in Acres v. State, 484 S.W.2d 534 (Tenn. 1972). The Dissenting member of the Court felt that the case was controlled by Duchac v. State, 505 S.W.2d 237 (Tenn. 1973), and that the convictions for both offenses should be affirmed.
