State of Tennessee v. Ladarron S. Gaines

A Davidson County Criminal Court Jury convicted the appellant, Ladarron S. Gaines, of evading arrest while operating a motor vehicle in which the flight or attempt to elude created a risk of death or injury to innocent bystanders or other third parties, a Class D felony.  After a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced him as a Range II, multiple offender to eight years in confinement.  On appeal, the appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction, that the trial court erred by denying his motion to exclude testimony regarding a surveillance video, and that his sentence is excessive.  Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
