State of Tennessee v. Michael L. Taylor
Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, the defendant pled guilty to possession of crack cocaine with the intent to resell, distribute or manufacture, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and four counts of the sale of over .5 grams of crack cocaine. The defendant was sentenced as agreed to nine (9) years for each felony count and eleven months and twenty-nine days for each misdemeanor count. The agreement also provided that all of the sentences would be served concurrently for an effective nine-year sentence. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court denied alternative sentencing. In this appeal, the defendant challenges the denial of alternative sentencing. We affirm. |

Roger Harris v. State of Tennessee
Petitioner appeals the trial court's denial of post-conviction relief. On appeal, petitioner alleges (1) ineffective assistance of trial counsel, (2) ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, (3) he was unconstitutionally denied bail, and (4) the indictment against him for first degree murder was unconstitutionally amended. We grant petitioner a delayed appeal, and we stay further proceedings on his remaining post-conviction claims. |

State of Tennessee v. Robert Andrew Lewis
Defendant, Robert Andrew Lewis, pled guilty to two counts of driving under the influence of an intoxicant, first offense, in the General Sessions Court of Knox County. The trial court imposed concurrent sentences of confinement for 11 months and 29 days, with all but 10 days of the sentences suspended. In addition, the trial court suspended Defendant's driving privileges for one year, and ordered him to pay a fine of $350.00 and attend DUI school. Within one year, a violation of probation warrant was issued, alleging that Defendant was driving on a revoked license, arrested for DUI, and had failed to complete DUI school. The General Sessions Court of Knox County revoked Defendant's probation and reinstated his sentences for both offenses. Defendant appealed to the Criminal Court of Knox County. On the date that his case was to be heard, Defendant's trial counsel did not appear in court. As a result, the criminal court dismissed the appeal for failure to prosecute and affirmed the judgment of the Knox County General Sessions Court revoking Defendant's probation. After a review of the record and applicable law, we reverse the judgment of the criminal court and remand this case for a de novo hearing on the probation revocation warrant. |

State of Tennessee v. Thomas H. Whaley
The Sevier County Grand Jury returned a two count presentment alleging the defendant committed a vehicular homicide by intoxication for the death of one victim and a vehicular assault by intoxication for the serious bodily injury of another victim. The defendant pled guilty to the amended charges of vehicular homicide by recklessness and aggravated assault by recklessness for agreed concurrent sentences of six years and three years, respectively, with the issue of alternative sentencing to be determined by the trial court. The trial court sentenced the defendant to split confinement and ordered the defendant to serve nine months "day-for-day" in the county jail with the remainder of his six-year effective sentence on supervised probation. In this appeal, the defendant alleges he should have received community corrections, or alternatively, he received excessive confinement. We conclude the trial court improperly ordered the defendant to serve his nine months of confinement "day-for-day," thereby depriving him of the opportunity to earn good conduct credits. We remand for deletion of the day-for-day requirement; however, we affirm the trial court in all other respects. |

State of Tennessee v. Christopher Lynn Brabson
The appellant, Christopher Lynn Brabson, was convicted by a jury in the McMinn County Criminal Court of one count of the sale of .5 grams or more of cocaine, a Class B felony. The jury also assessed a fine of $80,000. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed a sentence of ten years incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the appellant alleges: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support a verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, (2) the trial court erred in sentencing, and (3) the jury imposed an excessive fine. We affirm the judgment of the trial court but reduce the fine to $25,000. |
