Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 13, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Martesha L. Johnson, District Public Defender; Will Allensworth (on appeal) and Sean Dowling (at sentencing), Assistant District Public Defenders, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Joseph Sakai Hall.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Raymond J. Lepone, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Matthew Thomas, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Court Appealed: EASTER

Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, Defendant, Joseph Sakai Hall, pleaded guilty in the Davidson County Criminal Court to one count of aggravated assault involving serious bodily injury, a Class C felony, and received a sentence of three to four years as a Range I offender with the trial court to determine the length and manner of service and whether to grant Defendant’s request for judicial diversion. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court denied Defendant’s request for diversion and sentenced him to four years with 180 days to serve and the remainder to be supervised on probation. After a careful review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
