State of Tennessee v. Melissa L. Lopez
Syllabus
An Anderson Circuit Court Jury convicted the Appellant, Melissa L. Lopez, of aggravated child neglect, and the trial court sentenced her as a Range I, standard offender to twenty years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the Appellant contends that the evidence was insufficient to sustain her conviction, arguing that the State failed to prove her neglect resulted in the victim's injuries. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Judges: Judge Norma McGee Ogle
