State of Tennessee v. Jack Sherrill

The defendant was convicted of rape of a child, a Class A felony, and aggravated sexual battery, a Class B felony, and was sentenced to an effective sentence of thirty years. The defendant now appeals his conviction contending that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction; (2) the trial court erred in failing to grant a new trial based on newly discovered evidence; and (3) the trial court erred in denying the defendant's motion for continuance. The defendant also seeks review of sentencing issues in light of Blakely. After review, we conclude there is no reversible error and affirm the judgments of the trial court as to convictions and sentencing.
