State of Tennessee v. John A. Carter, Sr.

Case Number
M2001-02490-CCA-R3-CD

John A. Carter, Sr., was tried and acquitted of second-degree murder in the Davidson County Criminal Court for the stabbing death of Simon Doig; he was convicted of the lesser-included offense of reckless homicide. At the subsequent sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed a mid-range, three-year sentence. Carter claims in this appeal that the court should have given him a minimum, two-year sentence. Because we find no error in the trial court's sentencing pronouncement, we affirm.
