Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Keion Hayes, pleaded guilty in the Sumner County Criminal Court to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery. See T.C.A. §§ 39-13-211 (2018) (subsequently amended) (voluntary manslaughter); 39-13-402 (2018) (aggravated robbery). The Defendant received an agreed-upon, eighteen-year sentence. The Defendant filed a motion to withdraw his guilty pleas, which the trial court denied. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
