State of Tennessee v. Ricky Lynn Earls

Defendant appeals the sentences he received from convictions for two counts of forgery and one count of theft. The trial court found defendant to be a career offender and sentenced defendant to serve two sentences of six years each, to be served consecutively for an effective sentence of twelve years. Defendant contends that the sentences are excessive and that the trial court should have ordered the sentences to be served concurrently. We disagree and affirm the trial court's judgment.
