State of Tennessee v. Marcell Jermaine Marbury

In September 2006, the Defendant, Marcell Jermaine Marbury, pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter. He was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to six years and was placed on probation. Subsequently, the Defendant was transferred to enhanced probation. In February 2011, a violation report was filed, the fourth against the Defendant, citing violations of an arrest for a new offense, failure to report, and possession of illegal drugs. Following a hearing, the trial court revoked the Defendant’s sentence of probation and ordered that he serve the remainder of his six-year sentence in the Department of Correction (“DOC”). On appeal, the Defendant challenges the trial court’s imposition of total incarceration. After a review of the record, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
