State of Tennessee v. Billy John Kimmes

The defendant was convicted by a Madison County jury of theft of property valued at $10,000 or more, a Class C felony, and sentenced to five years in prison as a Range I, standard offender. On appeal, the defendant contends that the evidence produced at trial was insufficient to support the jury’s guilty verdict, and he also contends that his sentence was excessive, both in the length of the sentence and the trial court’s failure to impose an alternative sentence. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the evidence produced at trial was sufficient to support the defendant’s conviction, and that the sentence imposed by the trial court was appropriate. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
