The State, Respondent v. Edward Freiburger, Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Freiburger’s murder conviction and life sentence. It held that the Tennessee officer’s pat-down and seizure of the revolver were lawful as incident to an impending arrest, and that the remaining evidentiary and trial-error claims were either unpreserved, unsupported by the record, or nonprejudicial. The evidence, viewed favorably to the State, was sufficient to submit the murder charge to the jury.
