State of Tennessee v. Randy Joe Richards

Defendant, Randy Joe Richards, was convicted of theft of property valued over $10,000 but less than $60,000, vandalism less than $500, and driving on a revoked license.  As a result, he was sentenced to an effective sentence of fifteen years as a Range III, persistent offender.  On appeal, Defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and his sentence.  After a review, we determine that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Defendant to fifteen years in incarceration.
