Opinions from the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals

Not much came out today. Check below if you would like to look for yourself.

STATE OF TENNESSEE v. KENNETH B. NEVELS
Court: TCCA

Attorneys:

Roger Eric Nell, District Public Defender; and Rebecca F. Stevens, Assistant Public Defender, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant Kenneth B. Nevels.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Andrew Hamilton Smith, Assistant Attorney General; John Wesley Carney, Jr., District Attorney General; and Chris Dotson, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge: WOODALL

Defendant, Kenneth B. Nevels, entered a plea of guilty to one count of driving under the influence (DUI), first offense, and one count of driving on a suspended license, both Class A misdemeanors. The trial court sentenced Defendant to eleven months, twenty-nine days, for his DUI conviction, which sentence was to be suspended after serving forty-eight hours in confinement. Defendant was sentenced to a concurrent sentence of eleven months, twenty-nine days for his driving on a suspended license conviction, all of which was suspended with Defendant placed on probation. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Defendant reserved the right to appeal a certified question of law challenging the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress. After a review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JACK E. THOMPSON

Court: TCCA

Attorneys:

Jeffry S. Grimes, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jack Earl Thompson.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Jennifer L. Bledsoe, Assistant Attorney General; Roger Eric Nell, District Attorney General; and John E. Finklea, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge: WILLIAMS

The defendant, Jack E. Thompson, in this consolidated appeal, appeals from one judgment revoking his probation and another judgment sentencing him to three years to be served consecutively to the sentence for which his probation was revoked. On appeal, he argues that the trial court abused its discretion in revoking his probation and ordering him to serve his sentence and that the trial court erred in enhancing his sentence to three years on his plea of guilty to burglary of a vehicle, a Class E felony. After review, we affirm both judgments from the trial court.
