State v. Dixon

I THIBODEAUX, Judge.

The Defendant, Joseph Michael Dixon, appeals his conviction of second degree cruelty to juveniles, La.R.S. 14:93.2.3, and his sentence of thirty years at hard labor. He asserts that the sentence imposed was excessive in comparison to the nine year sentence imposed on the co-defendant, the mother of the juvenile. Additionally, he maintains that the trial court erred in determining the competency of the child witness, and the sufficiency of the evidence.

For the following reasons, we affirm.
