State of Tennessee v. Steven Alexander Greene

The Defendant, Steven Alexander Greene, pleaded guilty to second degree murder, a Class
A felony, especially aggravated robbery, a Class A felony, especially aggravated burglary,
a Class B felony, and tampering with evidence, a Class C felony. See T.C.A. §§ 39-13-
210 (2018) (second degree murder), 39-13-403 (2018) (especially aggravated robbery), 39-
14-404 (2018) (subsequently amended) (especially aggravated burglary), 39-16-503
(2018) (tampering with evidence). Pursuant to the plea agreement, the trial court was to
determine the length of the sentences, and the court imposed an effective sentence of
twenty-five years. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred by applying
the mitigating factors before applying the enhancement factors when imposing the
Defendant’s sentence. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
