No appeal of a sentence that’s within range.

Hickman v. State (Unpublished Memo): The range for sexual assault of a child is two to twenty years with up to a $10,000 fine.  The sentence here was fifteen years and a $5,000 fine.  That sentence can’t be reviewed for factual sufficiency.  Since Hickman didn’t challenge the sentence as being cruel and unusual, factual sufficiency was the only ground for appeal.  That ground was rejected.
