State of Tennessee v. Michelle Bishop

Case Number
E2009-00404-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, Michelle Bishop, pleaded guilty in the Sullivan County Circuit Court to three counts of theft of property valued at $500 or less, one count of theft of property valued at $1,000 or more but less than $10,000, two counts of identity theft, two counts of forgery, and one count of failure to appear in exchange for an effective sentence of five years with the manner of service of the sentence to be determined by the trial court. The trial court ordered a fully incarcerative sentence, and the defendant now appeals, claiming she should have been granted probation or other alternative sentencing. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
