Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 22, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Catalina L.C. Goodwin (on appeal) and Stephen R. Johnson (at plea and sentencing hearing), Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Mario Albanese.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Johnny Cerisano, Assistant Attorney General; Dan E. Armstrong, District Attorney General; and Joanie Stewart, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Defendant, Mario Albanese, pleaded guilty to three counts of reckless aggravated assault, a Class D felony. See T.C.A. § 39-13-102(a)(1)(B) (2014) (subsequently amended). The Hawkins County Criminal Court sentenced him to an agreed-upon, nine- year sentence, suspended to probation. On appeal, he contends that the trial court erred in denying judicial diversion. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
