Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: William C. Barnes, Jr. (on appeal and at trial), Columbia, Tennessee, for the appellant, Colton Shane Sutliffe.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Lacy E. Wilber, Assistant Attorney General; Brent Cooper, District Attorney General; and Pam Anderson and Clay Barnes, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Defendant, Colton Shane Sutliffe, was convicted in the Maury County Circuit Court of eighteen offenses, including multiple counts of aggravated rape, rape, and incest, and received a total effective sentence of thirty years, six months to be served at one hundred percent. On appeal, the Defendant claims that the juvenile court erred by transferring him to circuit court to be tried as an adult, that the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions, and that his effective sentence is excessive. Based upon our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
