State of Tennessee v. Perry Lewis Sisco

Syllabus

Perry Lewis Sisco, the Defendant, was convicted by a jury of one count of rape of a child and four counts of rape and was sentenced to twenty-five years for rape of a child and to twelve years on each of the rape convictions. The four twelve-year sentences were ordered to be served concurrently with each other but consecutively to the twenty-five-year sentence, for a total effective sentence of thirty-seven years. On appeal, the Defendant claims that: (1) the trial court erred in denying the motion to suppress his statement (2) the trial court erred in denying his motion for the recusal of the 13th Judicial District Attorney General and his staff (3) the trial court abused its discretion in sentencing and (4) there was insufficient evidence to sustain the convictions. Discerning no error, we affirm.
