Puckett v. Roberson

6/30/2005



In September 2002, Keith Roberson and his wife Rebecca D. Roberson (the "Robersons," "Defendants," or "Appellees") lived in a rural part of Obion County, Tennessee a few miles west of Union City. The Robersons have two daughters, Amie and Lacy. In September 2002, Amie was seventeen years old and attended Obion County Central High School in Troy, Tennessee.


During the afternoon of September 7, 2002, plans were made for three other teenage girls, Sheena Cates, Kara Barnes and Whitney Hollis, to spend the night at the Roberson home. The girls arrived at the Roberson home in the late afternoon of September 7, 2002. Keith Roberson worked the night-shift and was not at home during the evening and early morning hours of September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2002.


At approximately 8:00 p.m., Rebecca Roberson took the three teenage girls, Lee Lunsford (a teenage boy who attended school with the overnight guests and had stopped by the Roberson home), and her daughter Lacy to Hubb's Restaurant in Hickman, Kentucky. After eating, the group returned to the Roberson home. By the time the group arrived back at the Roberson home, the Robersons' daughter Amie was there with her boyfriend Cory Busy. Soon thereafter, another teenager, Megan Jackson, came to the Roberson home. Megan Jackson had originally planned to spend the night at the Robersons but later changed her mind.


Sometime before 11:00 p.m., Kara Barnes, Whitney Hollis, Sheena Cates, and Megan Jackson told Rebecca Roberson that they wanted to drive into Union City. Mrs. Roberson instructed them to be back by 11:00 p.m. and the girls left the Roberson home in Sheena Cates' vehicle and drove into Union City.


While in Union City, the four girls saw and visited with other friends who had congregated in the McDonald's parking lot, which was a common gathering place for teenagers in the community. Among those that the girls talked with at McDonald's were Megan Woods and Christopher Phelon (age 17). The four girls then left Union City and arrived at the Roberson home just before 11:00 p.m.


Lee Lunsford, who had also accompanied the girls and Mrs. Roberson to Hubb's Restaurant, also left the Roberson home soon after returning from dinner. Lee Lunsford was by himself when he left the Robersons. He drove into Union City where he rode around to determine whether any other friends were out that night. Specifically, Lee Lunsford drove up and down Reelfoot Avenue, which was a routine practice for teenagers in Union City. While driving, Lee Lunsford saw Megan Woods on the parking lot of the Phillips 66 Station on Reelfoot Avenue. Megan Woods waved Lee Lunsford down and he stopped to visit with her.


In September, 2002, Megan Woods was a student at Obion County Central High School and also worked as a part-time employee at Flippen's Restaurant in Obion County. On the night of September 7, 2002, Megan Woods had gotten off work at approximately 9:30 p.m. After completing work, she drove home where she quickly changed clothes. She left her house at approximately 10:15 p.m. and drove to Jordan's Liquor Store, which is located in Kentucky a short distance across the Tennessee-Kentucky state line. At Jordan's, Megan Woods purchased a pint of Everclear, which is pure grain alcohol. After making her purchase, Megan Woods drove into Union City where she saw and waved down Lee Lunsford.


While on the parking lot of the Phillips 66, Megan Woods told Lee Lunsford that she had Everclear in her possession. Megan and Lee then went inside the Phillips 66 where they purchased Gatorade to mix with the Everclear and white plastic Phillips 66 cups in which to mix their drinks. In the parking lot of the Phillips 66
