Posted by: Karen Belcher on Sep 2, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Brennan M. Wingerter, Assistant Public Defender - Appellate Director, Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference (on appeal); and Rowland Cowan, Rogersville, Tennessee (at hearing), for the appellant, Marty Ray Rouse.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; William C. Lundy, Assistant Attorney General; Dan E. Armstrong, District Attorney General; and Brad Jones, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, Marty Ray Rouse, appeals the trial court’s judgment revoking his probation and ordering him to serve his full sentence in confinement after Defendant admitted to violating his probation. Defendant asserts the trial court abused its discretion by focusing on Defendant’s past criminal history and failing to apply the correct legal standard in determining the consequence of Defendant’s probation violation. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
