State of Tennessee v. Quinton Deshawn Mostella

In 2019, the Defendant, Quinton Deshawn Mostella, pleaded guilty to facilitation of first degree murder.  The trial court imposed a twenty-two-year sentence to be served consecutively to the Defendant’s sentence in a 2009 case.  The Defendant subsequently filed a motion to correct the 2019 judgment contending that the judgment did not reflect 714 days of pretrial jail credit.  The trial court granted the motion, awarding the Defendant pretrial jail credit and amending his sentence to run concurrently to his 2009 sentence.  On appeal, the State contends that the trial court lacked the jurisdiction to amend the Defendant’s judgment and sentence.  After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we reverse and vacate the trial court’s amended judgment.
