Strickland’s re-election bid “We’ve fixed 911. We’ve fixed the animal shelter. We’ve fixed MWBE (minority and women business enterprises) purchasing. We fixed the hiring pro- cess. We’re fixing garbage collection,” he said. “We begins with soft opening have fixed more youth involvement. Those are easier things to turn around. We still have the big issues of violent crime, poverty, educational achievement. Those will take longer to turn around. Those are the challenges that I really want to dig into.” The Shelby County Election Commission begins issuing qualifying petitions in May for the mayor’s race as well as the 13 Memphis City Council seats on the ballot, the three city court judge position and the city court clerk’s position. In seeking a second term, Strickland is running what he described as his “last campaign” for elected office. Those elected mayor and to the City Council are limited to two consecutive terms in office. His challengers at this point in the race, which will top the October city election ballot, are former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton and Lemichael D. Wilson, a business owner and University of Mem- phis political science major. Herenton was elected to five terms as mayor and, at 17 years in office, is the city’s longest-serving mayor. He indicated last year that he doesn’t intend to run campaign focused on criticism of Strickland. However, late in the year Herenton reacted to word- ing in a proposed term limits resolution, ultimately defeated by voters on the November ballot, by warn- ing “the gloves are off.” The wording could have been used to prevent Herenton from running for mayor again.

MICHAEL TUCKER Direct Appeal from the Criminal Court for Shelby County No. 99-05654 Chris Craft, Judge No. W2000-02220-CCA-R3-CD - Filed November 20, 2002 The Shelby County Grand Jury indicted the Defendant for felony murder in the perpetration of a robbery, first degree premeditated murder, and especially aggravated robbery. Following a trial, at which the Defendant was tried with his co-defendant, a Shelby County jury convicted the Defendant of second degree murder.

Concluding that sufficient evidence was presented to support the Defendant’s conviction for second degree murder, that the trial court’s supplemental instructions to the jury were proper, and that the trial court did not improperly comment on the evidence, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
