Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Aug 3, 2023

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jon D. Slager, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the appellant, William Timothy Kirk.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; Jennings Jones, District Attorney General; and Matthew Westmoreland, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, William Timothy Kirk, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (DUI), first offense. The trial court sentenced Defendant to a term of eleven months, twenty-nine days in confinement, to be served at seventy-five percent. The trial court ordered the DUI sentence to be served consecutively to the life sentence for which Defendant was on parole at the time of the offense. On appeal, Defendant argues the trial court abused its discretion by imposing consecutive sentences. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
