State of Tennessee v. Jim Hunter

The Defendant, Jim Hunter, was indicted for attempted first degree murder and domestic aggravated assault. After a jury trial, the Defendant was convicted of reckless endangerment and  reckless aggravated assault. The trial court sentenced the Defendant to concurrent sentences of eight years for the reckless aggravated assault conviction and 11 months and 29 days for the reckless endangerment conviction. In this appeal as of right, the Defendant contends (1) that the trial court violated his Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial by basing his sentence on enhancement factors not determined by the jury and (2) that one of his convictions should not have been considered in determining his status as a multiple offender because of its age. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
