Sanders was sentenced to 63 years with the Department of Corrections. Another 652 days was added to that following Medlock's revocation of his probation, which was related to a sexual battery case. Sanders was on probation for that and had another case out of Floyd County, driving while suspended, pending at the time of the murder in July 2017.

Michael J. Sanders appeals his conviction of and sentence for murder.
1 He presents multiple issues for our review, which we restate as:1. Whether the State presented sufficient evidence to prove Sanders committed murder;
2. Whether the trial court committed fundamental error when it admitted Sanders’ redacted field interview;
3. Whether the State committed prosecutorial misconduct rising to the level of fundamental error based on statements made during closing argument; and
4. Whether Sanders’ sentence is inappropriate based on the nature of the crime and his character.

Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s decisions.
