State of Tennessee v. Jeremy Lance Przybysz

The defendant, Jeremy Lance Przybysz, submitted a best interest guilty plea pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S. Ct. 160 (1970), to attempt to commit aggravated sexual battery, a Class C felony. The parties agreed to an eight-year sentence as a Range II offender with the manner of service to be determined by the court. At the sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the defendant to serve eight years in confinement. Claiming the trial court erroneously denied alternative sentencing, the defendant appeals. We affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
