Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Michael Domonic Sales, Nashville, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline W. Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; and Robert J. Carter, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Michael Domonic Sales, was convicted by a Lincoln County jury of first degree premeditated murder for which he received a life sentence. The Defendant filed a motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1 because he was not sentenced by a jury, which the trial court denied. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying relief. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
