State of Tennessee v. Cameron Tommy Beard

Syllabus

The Appellant was convicted by an Anderson County jury of reckless aggravated assault and child abuse, for which he received an effective sentence of eight years' imprisonment. On appeal, he argues that his sentence is excessive because the trial court: (1) misapplied certain enhancement factors, and the resulting sentence is inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the Sentencing Act and (2) imposed consecutive sentences based on the dangerous offender classification without making the requisite findings. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
