The Tennessee Supreme Court officially denied a new trial from moving forward for a man convicted of a heinous crime committed in Eagleville in 2009.

Looking back, 87-year old victim Cecil Storey told detectives that Ronald Damon and two others pushed their way into his secluded Eagleville home. The trio then beat and tied-up Storey and his 93-year old wife Edna. Damon and others then stole money from the Storey's home. Sadly, 93-year old Edna died of a heart attack a few months after the crime took place.

The man who is asking for a new trial, Ronald Damon, was sentenced to spend the next 41-years behind bars after this vicious crime unfolded. Damon now claims the court should have agreed to his motion for an acquittal or a new trial because he says there was a lack of evidence to support his convictions.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee did not see it the way Damon saw it and denied his case from moving forward.
