The state was unable to link the items to Brown, the court ruled, but the improper admission was a "harmless error." Judge John K. Byer dissented from that issue, saying in a separate opinion that evidence found at the scene of the crime is admissable. Brown also made the routine claim that the sentence was unreasonable and excessive. The court has consistently held that if the punishment imposed is within the legal limits for the offense, it is not excessive. Finally, Brown challenged Sullivan County Criminal Court Judge Edgar Calhoun's denial of a new trial based on newly discovered evidence.
At the hearing on a motion for new trial, Brown offered evidence that three state's witnesses, includ-, ing the victim, had inquired after the trial about receiving. $2,500 in reward money posted by the city of Kingsport. However, the court ruled, when new evidence goes only to the credibility of a witness, a new trial is not warranted.
