Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Brian D. Wilson (on appeal), Assistant Public Defender–Appellate Division; Craig Fickling, District Public Defender; Tyler Lannom and Shannon Poindexter (at plea and sentencing), Assistant District Public Defenders, for the appellant, Jerome Andre McClinton.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Caitlin Smith, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Bryant C. Dunaway, District Attorney General; and Mark Gore and Evan R. Smith, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Defendant, Jerome Andre McClinton, pled guilty to one count of sale of more than 0.5 grams of methamphetamine. Pursuant to his plea agreement, the manner of service of his ten-year sentence was to be determined by the trial court. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the sentence to be served in confinement. On appeal, Defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion by ordering him to serve his sentence without considering his amenability to correction or potential for rehabilitation. Following a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
