State of Tennessee v. Antonio Terrell Pewitte

Defendant, Antonio Terrell Pewitte, was convicted of aggravated child neglect and received a sentence of twenty years.  Defendant raises the following issues in his direct appeal: (1) whether the trial court erred by failing to require the State to make an election of offenses; (2) whether the evidence is sufficient to support his conviction; (3) whether the trial court abused its discretion by admitting multiple photographs of the victim’s injuries; (4) whether the trial court erred by admitting hearsay testimony; (5) whether the trial court abused its discretion by not granting a mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct during closing argument; and (6) whether the trial court abused its discretion during sentencing.  Following a careful review of the record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
