State of Tennessee v. Edwin Reeves

The Defendant, Edwin Reeves, was convicted by a Knox County Criminal Court jury of
criminally negligent homicide and possession with the intent to sell or to deliver a schedule
II controlled substance in a drug-free zone. He later pleaded guilty to a second count of
possession with the intent to sell or to deliver a schedule II controlled substance in a drugfree
zone. The trial court imposed an effective nine-year sentence. The Defendant filed a
motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure
36.1, which the trial court summarily dismissed for the failure to state a colorable claim.
On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying relief. We affirm
the judgment of the trial court.
