Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: William W. Gill (on appeal), Assistant Public Defender – Appellate Division, Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference; Greg Burlison, District Public Defender; Richard Strong (at sentencing), Assistant Public Defender, Franklin, Tennessee; and Joseph Fuson (at plea), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Bianca Renee Bankston.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; J. Katie Neff, Assistant Attorney General; Stacey Edmonson, District Attorney General; and Dale Evans, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

Defendant pled guilty in Williamson County to aggravated vehicular assault and three DUI counts. The trial court sentenced Defendant to six years in confinement. Defendant argues on appeal that her sentence is excessive and the trial court abused its discretion in denying alternative sentencing. After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, the applicable law, and oral arguments, we affirm the judgments of the trial court but remand for entry of corrected judgment forms as detailed in this opinion.
