State of Tennessee v. Terry Wayne Mitchell

The Defendant, Terry Wayne Mitchell, pled guilty to burglary of an automobile and theft of property over $500.00, in case number 5504, and possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, in case number 5505. The trial court sentenced the Defendant to three years and six months, as a Range II offender, for each of the convictions in case 5504, and it sentenced the Defendant to eleven months and twenty-nine days for the conviction in case 5505. The trial court further ordered that the two sentences in case 5504 would be served consecutively, and the sentence in 5505 would run concurrently. On appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the trial court erred by not recusing itself; and (2) the trial court erred when it sentenced the Defendant. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the Defendant's convictions and sentences.
