Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joshua L. Phillips (on appeal and at trial), Lexington, Tennessee, for the appellant, Nathan David Bassett.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Jody Pickens, District Attorney General; and Benjamin Mayo and Joshua Prescott, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Defendant, Nathan David Bassett, pled guilty in the Madison County Circuit Court to theft of property valued $10,000 or more. Pursuant to the plea agreement, he received a five-year sentence as a Range I, standard offender with the trial court to determine the manner of service of the sentence. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered that the Defendant serve the sentence in confinement. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion by denying a sentence alternative to confinement. Based on our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
