Posted by: Karen Belcher on Aug 20, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joseph Raymond Cacciatore, Wartburg, Tennessee, Pro Se.

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

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, Joseph Raymond Cacciatore, appeals the trial court's denial of his motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 35 in which Defendant sought a reduction of his effective ten-year sentence of incarceration resulting from his guilty pleas to two counts of solicitation of a minor, three counts of coercion of a witness, and one count of attempted especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. On appeal, Defendant contends that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel, that his plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered, and that he was arrested and confined without being properly indicted. Upon review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
