State of Tennessee v. Wayne C. Burkhart, Jr.

Case Number
E2010-00717-CCA-R3-CD

A Claiborne County Criminal Court jury convicted the defendant, Wayne C. Burkhart, Jr., of three counts of aggravated child abuse, 11 counts of rape, and 11 counts of incest, and the trial court imposed a total effective sentence of 50 years’ incarceration. In this appeal, the defendant challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence, the trial court’s denial of his motion for a mistrial, and the propriety of consecutive sentencing. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
