STATE OF TENNESSEE v. KEYONNA NICOLE WOOTEN

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Aug 8, 2014

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

William J. Harold, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Keyonna Nicole Wooten.

Attorneys 2:

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Meredith DeVault, Senior Counsel; Robert James Carter, District Attorney General; and Ann L. Filer, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): OGLE

The appellant, Keyonna Nicole Wooten, pled guilty in the Lincoln County Circuit Court to one count of selling one-half gram or more of a Schedule II controlled substance and one count of delivering one-half gram or more of a Schedule II controlled substance. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court merged the latter conviction into the former and sentenced the appellant as a Range I, standard offender to nine years, six months in confinement. On appeal, the appellant contends that her sentence is excessive and that the trial court erred by denying her request for alternative sentencing. Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
