Attorneys for Tennessee state Sen. Katrina Robinson, D-Memphis, have filed an appeal, asking for acquittal or a new trial on the four counts she was convicted of Sept. 30 by a jury.

“No rational jury could have found Ms. Robinson guilty of those counts based on the allegations presented to the grand jury and returned in the Second Superseding Indictment,” the appeal reads.
