Posted by: Karen Belcher on May 31, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Martesha Johnson Moore, Chief Public Defender, and Will Allensworth, Assistant Public Defender (on appeal); and Chad Hindman, Kevin J. Griffith, and Megan Jordan, Assistant Public Defenders (at sentencing), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Corbin Rashard Arrington.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; William C. Lundy, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Lauren Hogan and Christopher Buford, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

The Defendant, Corbin Rashard Arrington, pled guilty to the offense of aggravated assault resulting in death and reserved sentencing issues for the trial court’s consideration. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court denied the Defendant’s request for judicial diversion and imposed a sentence of six years to be served in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his request for judicial diversion or alternative sentencing. Upon our review, we respectfully disagree and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
