State of Tennessee v. Darunn Turner - Concur

Syllabus

I agree with the majority that the trial court properly imposed maximum, consecutive sentences. I write separately to explain why, in contrast to the analysis undertaken in the lead opinion, my analysis does not deprive the trial court of the presumption of reasonableness based upon the court's having considered the facts of the crimes and having observed that they demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that the Defendant's culpability exceeded that required for the verdicts returned by the jury. The majority characterizes the court's comments as a \strong reliance on [the court's] personal disagreement with the jury's verdict.\
