APPELLATE COURT OPINIONS

The appellant, David E. Smith, Jr., appeals the verdict of a Davidson County jury finding him guilty of one count of theft of property over $1,000, a class D felony. For this offense, the appellant received a two year suspended sentence. On appeal, the appellant challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence and contends that the trial court erred by denying his request for judicial diversion.

The appellant, Anand Franklin, was convicted by a Davidson County jury of one (1) count of aggravated sexual battery, a Class B felony. The trial court sentenced him as a Range I offender to eight (8) years incarceration. On appeal, the appellant claims that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. After a thorough review of the
record before this Court, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
 

The defendant, James Richard Watson, appeals from his sentence imposed for aggravated assault, a Class C felony, in the McMinn County Criminal Court. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-102(a)(1)(B) (1997). The trial court imposed a five year sentence in the Tennessee Department of Correction. In this direct appeal, the defendant challenges the length of the sentence imposed and the manner of service. After a review of the record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the sentence.
