STATE OF TENNESSEE v. EULA BEASLEY

Posted by: Julia Wilburn on Aug 8, 2023

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Daniel J. Murphy, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, Eula Beasley.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Richard D. Douglas, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Glenn Funk, District Attorney General; and Janice Norman, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The defendant-appellant, Eula Beasley, entered a guilty plea in the Davidson County Criminal Court to aggravated robbery (count one) and possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for a crime of violence (count two), for which he received an eight-year sentence for each count with the manner of service to be determined by the trial court. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered these sentences to be served consecutively, for an effective sentence of 16 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. In this appeal as of right, the defendant contends that the trial court erred in imposing consecutive sentences. Upon our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
