State of Tennessee v. Corey Eshmon

The defendant, Corey Eshmon, was convicted by a Shelby County jury of one count of aggravated robbery, a Class B felony; two counts of aggravated assault, a Class C felony; and one count of theft of property under $500, a Class A misdemeanor. The trial court sentenced him as a Range I offender to eight years for the aggravated robbery conviction, three years for each of the aggravated assault convictions, and eleven months, twenty-nine days for the theft conviction. Finding the defendant to be a dangerous offender, the court ordered that the robbery sentence run consecutively to one of the assault sentences, for an effective sentence of eleven years in the Department of Correction. In a timely appeal to this court, the defendant raises the following issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress witness identifications; (2) whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain the convictions; and (3) whether the trial court erred in ordering consecutive sentencing. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
