Case Number
E2009-00698-CCA-R3-CD
The Defendant, Daniel Ross McClellan, was convicted of rape of a child, a Class A felony, and incest, a Class C felony. He was sentenced as a Range II, multiple offender to serve forty years as a child rapist for the rape conviction and ten years for the incest conviction, with the sentences to be served concurrently. On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in sentencing him as a multiple offender. We hold that the trial court properly sentenced the Defendant as a Range II offender for the incest conviction but erred in sentencing him as a Range II offender for the rape of a child conviction. We remand the case to the trial court for resentencing in accordance with this opinion.
