State of Tennessee v. John Travis Collins, alias

Case Number
E2001-01301-CCA-R3-CD
The State challenges the trial court's jurisdiction to modify sentence more than six years after judgment. Generally a trial court would not have jurisdiction to modify a sentence more than 120 days after judgment becomes final. However, we conclude that where the defendant was never in the physical custody of the Department of Correction, jurisdiction to modify sentence remained in the trial court. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
