State of Tennessee v. Barry Randy Hall

The Defendant, Barry Randy Hall, pled guilty to one count of facilitation to sell 0.5 grams or more of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a school and one count of selling 0.5 grams or more of cocaine, both Class B felonies. The parties agreed to a ten-year sentence on the facilitation to sell conviction and an eight year sentence on the selling of 0.5 grams or more conviction, to be served concurrently. At the sentencing hearing, the trial court denied probation and alternative sentencing and ordered the Defendant to serve the entirety of  sentence in confinement. The Defendant challenges the denial of alternative sentencing in this appeal. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the trial court properly sentenced the defendant and affirm the judgments of the trial court.
