State of Tennessee v. Herandus Washington

The Defendant, Herandus Washington, pleaded guilty to reckless vehicular homicide, a Class C felony.  See T.C.A. § 39-13-213(a)(1), (b)(1) (2018) (subsequently amended).  At the sentencing hearing, the Defendant sought judicial diversion.  The trial court denied diversion and imposed a five-year sentence, to be served on probation.  On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in denying judicial diversion.  We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
