State of Tennessee v. Jarvis Miller
Syllabus
The Defendant, Jarvis Miller, appeals his twenty-five-year sentence at 100 percent in the Tennessee Department of Correction (\TDOC\) for his second degree murder conviction. Specifically, he challenges the length and manner of his sentence as excessive because the trial court (1) failed to mitigate the Defendant's sentence based on \mistakenly recollected\ facts from trial (2) misapplied and gave improper weight to two enhancement factors and (3) failed to give meaningful consideration to imposing an alternative sentence. After review, we affirm.
