State of Tennessee v. Jamarcus Dequan Murdock

Case Number
W2020-00244-CCA-R3-CD

Aggrieved of his Hardeman County Circuit Court jury convictions of aggravated robbery, the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence for two of his convictions and the total effective sentence. We affirm the defendant’s convictions but, because the trial court failed to make the requisite findings to support consecutive sentences based upon the dangerous offender category, we vacate the imposition of consecutive sentences and remand the case for the limited purpose of making the appropriate findings on this issue. Upon remand, the trial court should also correct the minor clerical error in the judgment form for Count 3.
