State of Tennessee v. Steve Allen Click

Case Number
E2004-02655-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, Steve Allen Click, was convicted of three counts of aggravated rape and one count of evading arrest. The trial court imposed consecutive sentences of forty years for each aggravated rape and a concurrent sentence of eleven months and twenty-nine days for evading arrest. The effective sentence is, therefore, 120 years. In this appeal, the defendant asserts (1) that the trial court erred by failing to merge two of the aggravated rape convictions; (2) that the evidence is insufficient to support the convictions for aggravated rape; (3) that the prosecutor's closing argument was improper; and (4) that the trial court erred by imposing consecutive sentences. The judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
