State of Tennessee v. Scottie Lee Mofield

The Defendant, Scottie Lee Mofield, was found guilty by a Davidson County Criminal Court jury of aggravated assault, a Class C felony.  See T.C.A. § 39-13-102 (2014) (amended 2015, 2016, 2017).  The trial court sentenced the Defendant as a Range II, multiple offender to eight years’ confinement and ordered his sentence to be served consecutively to a sentence in an unrelated case.  On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred (1) during sentencing and (2) by denying his motion for a new trial on the basis of newly discovered evidence.  We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
