STATE OF TENNESSEE v. STACY MICHELLE COCHRAN

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 16, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Samuel W. Hinson, Lexington, Tennessee, for the appellant, Stacy Michelle Cochran.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Raymond J. Lepone, Assistant Attorney General; Neil Thompson, District Attorney General; and William M. Thorne, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Stacy Michelle Cochran, Defendant, entered an open plea of guilty to three felonies and one misdemeanor. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced her as a Range II multiple offender to an effective sentence of twenty-four years to be served at 35%, plus eleven months and 29 days to be served at 75%. Defendant claims that the State entered into a plea agreement for her to be sentenced as a Range I offender and that the trial court erred in sentencing her as a Range II offender. Because the record on appeal, which does not contain the transcript of the plea submission hearing or the transcript of the sentencing hearing, is inadequate for meaningful appellate review, we are precluded from addressing the issue. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
