State of Tennessee v. Aurelio Garcia Sanchez

A Macon County jury convicted the Defendant, Aurelio Garcia Sanchez, of five counts of rape of a child.  The trial court sentenced the Defendant to serve consecutive twenty-five year sentences for each conviction, for an effective sentence of 125 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction.  On appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress his statement to police; (2) the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions; and (3) the trial court erred when it imposed consecutive sentences.  After a thorough review of the record and applicable authorities, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.
