Kimbrough v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of multiple counts of child molesting and sentenced to an aggregate term of eighty years. The court of appeals affirmed Defendant's convictions but remanded the cause to the trial court with instructions to impose an aggregate term of forty years, concluding that the trial court abused its discretion sentencing Defendant. The Supreme Court granted transfer, thereby vacating the decision of the court of appeals, and summarily affirmed the portion of the court of appeals' decision concerning the majority of Defendant's claims. The Court then affirmed the judgment of the trial court regarding Defendant's sentence, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in imposing Defendant's sentence.
