State of Tennessee v. April Jennifer Warren

The Defendant, April Jennifer Warren, was convicted upon her guilty plea in the Blount County Circuit Court of voluntary manslaughter, a Class C felony. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the Defendant received a Range II, ten-year sentence with the manner of service to be determined by the trial court. At the sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the Defendant to serve the sentence in confinement. The Defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in denying alternative sentencing. Based upon conduct by the trial judge, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case for resentencing.
