State s. Amanda Lee Sutton
E1999-00920-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn
Trial Court Judge: Stephen M. Bevil
The defendant, a former day care worker, pled guilty to Class D felony child abuse for breaking the jaw of a two-year-old child in her care. She was given a three-year sentence, to be served in split confinement, with six months in the county workhouse and four years of supervised probation. On appeal, the defendant raises the issues of whether the trial court erred in considering the age, vulnerability, and risk to the victim's life as a sentencing enhancement factor when the offense was already classified according to the age of the victim, and whether the trial court erred in failing to utilize alternative sentencing. Based upon our review, we affirm the decision of the trial court.

State of Tennessee v. Carl G. Boone
M2009-00188-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn
Trial Court Judge: Robert L. Jones
The defendant, Carl G. Boone, was convicted by a Maury County jury of reckless endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor, and aggravated assault, a Class C felony. The trial court merged the reckless endangerment conviction into the aggravated assault conviction and sentenced the defendant as a Range II, multiple offender to ten years at thirty-five percent in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant argues that the trial court imposed an excessive sentence by misapplying enhancement factors and failing to apply appropriate factors in mitigation. Following our review, we affirm the sentencing imposed by the trial court. However, we remand for entry of corrected judgment forms to reflect that the reckless endangerment count of the indictment merged into the aggravated assault count and that the defendant was found not guilty of the aggravated rape count rather than not guilty by reason of insanity, as marked on the judgment form.
