STATE OF TENNESSEE v. EDWIN REEVES

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 4, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Edwin Reeves, Clifton, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Abigail H. Hornsby, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Edwin Reeves, was convicted by a Knox County Criminal Court jury of criminally negligent homicide and possession with the intent to sell or to deliver a schedule II controlled substance in a drug-free zone. He later pleaded guilty to a second count of possession with the intent to sell or to deliver a schedule II controlled substance in a drug- free zone. The trial court imposed an effective nine-year sentence. The Defendant filed a motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1, which the trial court summarily dismissed for the failure to state a colorable claim. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying relief. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
