Carroll Court of Criminal Appeals

State of Tennessee vs. Paul Swanson
03C01-9711-CC-00501
Authoring Judge: Judge David G. Hayes
Trial Court Judge: Judge Ben W. Hooper, II

The appellant, Paul J. Swanson, appeals the sentencing decision of the Grainger County Criminal Court following his guilty pleas to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual battery, class C felonies. Pursuant to the terms of the negotiated plea agreement, the appellant agreed to an effective six year sentence. The agreement further provided that the manner of service of the sentences was to be submitted to the trial court for determination. The trial court ordered total confinement. The appellant appeals this decision contending that the trial court erred in failing to grant alternative sentences and in failing to credit the appellant with time spent in a residential sexual offender treatment center prior to entry of his guilty pleas.

State of Tennessee vs. Travis E. Sharpe
03C01-9808-CR-00290
Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn
Trial Court Judge: Judge James E. Beckner

The defendant, Travis E. Sharpe, appeals as of right from the judgment of the Hamblen County Criminal Court. The defendant pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced to eight years as a Range I standard offender, with a release eligibility date of thirty percent. The defendant appeals the trial court’s sentencing decision, arguing the trial court erred in not sentencing him as an especially mitigated offender pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-35-109 (1997). Based upon our review of this matter, we affirm the sentencing decision of the court below.
