State of Tennessee v. Michael Vincent Ricco

The defendant was convicted by jury of rape of a child and aggravated sexual battery. He was
subsequently sentenced to 18 years for rape of a child and 10 years for aggravated sexual battery. His sentences were ordered to run consecutively for a total effective sentence of 28 years. On appeal, the defendant presents the following issues for review: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain his convictions, and (2) whether the trial court erred in ordering the defendant to serve his sentences consecutively rather than concurrently. Upon our review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
