State of Tennessee v. Larry Carnell Pittman

In February 2006, the Madison County Grand Jury indicted the defendant, Larry Carnell Pittman, on one count of especially aggravated kidnapping, a Class A felony, one count of aggravated robbery, a Class B felony, and one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, a Class C felony. Following a jury trial, the defendant was convicted of all three counts of the indictment. The trial court sentenced the defendant to thirty-eight years as a Range II, violent offender for his especially aggravated kidnapping conviction, nineteen years as a Range II, multiple offender for the aggravated robbery conviction, and nine years as a Range II, multiple offender for the conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery conviction. The trial court ordered that all sentences be served consecutively. On appeal, the defendant argues that: (1) the trial court erred by failing to grant his motion to suppress evidence; (2) the trial court erred by failing to grant his motion for a  continuance; (3) the evidence produced at trial was insufficient to support his convictions; and (4) the trial court imposed excessive sentences. After reviewing the record, we discern no error and affirm the judgments of the trial court.
