Posted by: Amelia Ferrell Knisely on May 16, 2016

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Donna Orr Hargrove, District Public Defender; and Andrew Jackson Dearing III (at trial and on appeal) and Michael J. Collins (at trial), Assistant District Public Defenders, for the appellant, Paul Brent Baxter.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Clark B. Thornton, Senior Counsel; Robert J. Carter, District Attorney General; and Michael D. Randles, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): THOMAS

The Defendant, Paul Brent Baxter, appeals as of right from his jury convictions for aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed consecutive terms of fifteen years and twenty years, respectively. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions and that his effective thirty-five-year sentence is excessive. After a review of the record, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
