State of Tennessee vs. Charles Chesteen
The defendant, Charles Chesteen, served as the Clerk and Master of the Cocke County Chancery Court from 1984 to 1996. In 1997, he was charged with theft relating to his service in the capacity as conservator of funds of two elderly ladies and with unlawful conversion related to funds misappropriated by him in his official capacity. He pleaded guilty, with the sentencing determination to be made by the trial court. The court imposed an effective six-year incarcerative sentence along with restitution of $101,821.73. Upon review, we hold that the trial court erred in some of its sentencing determinations. We affirm in part, modify in part, reverse in part, and remand to the trial court for further determination regarding aspects of the sentencing issues. |

State of Tennessee v. James M. Lane, Jr.
James M. Lane, Jr. appeals by permission of the trial and appellate courts. Indicted for two counts of aggravated perjury, he alleges that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to reverse the district attorney general’s denial of pretrial diversion. Because the prosecutor relied upon improper grounds for denying diversion, we reverse the trial court’s finding that the prosecutor did not abuse his discretion in denying diversion. We remand to the trial court with instructions that the prosecutor enter into a memorandum of understanding for pretrial diversion with the defendant. |

He w as subsequently tried by a T ipton C ounty jury and found guilty of aggravated robbery and theft over $500. In this appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by allowing introduction of an involuntary statement which he made to police following his arrest, by failing to grant his motion for new trial on the basis of insufficient evidence, and by sentencing him incorrectly. We hold that the trial court did not err by admitting the Defendant’ s statement to police, that the evidence was sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction, and that the Defendant was properly sentenced. Accordingly , we affirm the judgment of the trial court. |
