State vs. Kevin DeWayne Steen

Authoring Judge: Judge Joe G. Riley
Trial Court Judge: James B. Scott, Jr.
The sole issue in this appeal is whether the defendant was eligible for work release and/or periodic confinement prior to serving the mandatory minimum period of incarceration for second offense DUI. The trial court concluded that the defendant was ineligible for work release or periodic confinement prior to serving the mandatory minimum period of incarceration, and we affirm that judgment.

State vs. Richard Eugene Trivette
E1999-00944-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge David H. Welles
Trial Court Judge: Phyllis H. Miller
The Defendant was convicted of two counts of sexual battery. His plea agreement provided for concurrent sentences of two years for his convictions, with the manner of service of the sentences to be determined by the trial judge. The trial judge ordered that the Defendant serve 280 days of his sentences in the county jail, with the balance to be served on intensive probation. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial judge erred by ordering him to serve 280 days in jail. We modify the sentences imposed by the trial court.

State of Tennessee v. Gregory A. Hedges
E1999-01350-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge J. Curwood Witt, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: J. Curtis Smith

State vs. Ann Elizabeth Martin
E1999-01361-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Thomas T. Woodall
Trial Court Judge: Stephen M. Bevil
Defendant Ann Elizabeth Martin was convicted of driving under the influence, first offense. In this appeal as of right she argues (1) the trial court erred when it did not suppress blood test results because of statutory and constitutional infirmities in the implied consent form; and (2) the stop of her vehicle and subsequent arrest are unconstitutional because the arresting officer did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion warranting a traffic stop. Held: the implied consent form complies with the statutory requirements. However, the officer who arrested Defendant did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion warranting a traffic stop. Defendant's conviction is reversed, and the case is remanded for dismissal of the charge.

State vs. Kenneth R. Shell
E1999-02422-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge J. Curwood Witt, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Lillie Ann Sells
Kenneth R. Shell appeals from his conviction of aggravated sexual battery. He seeks a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence. Finding no error in the trial court's denial of his motion for new trial on this basis, we affirm.
