State of Tennessee v. Kevin Lane Farrar

The defendant was convicted of reckless aggravated assault, a Class D felony, and sentenced as a standard, Range I offender to three years and six months in the Tennessee Department of Correction. Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, he filed a timely appeal to this court, raising three issues: (1) whether the trial court imposed an excessive sentence; (2) whether the trial court erred in allowing the State to impeach a defense witness with a prior misdemeanor conviction for failure to appear; and (3) whether the evidence was sufficient to support his conviction. Based upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
