STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ANTHONY GLOVER

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 6, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Raven Prean-Morris, Assistant Public Defender - Appellate Division (on appeal); and William L. Cathcart, Assistant Public Defender (at trial), for the appellant, Anthony Glover.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Julia A. Johnson, Assistant Attorney General; Christopher R. Stanford, District Attorney General; and Felicia B. Walkup, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Defendant, Anthony Glover, appeals the denial of his bid for judicial diversion, arguing that the trial court’s ruling is not entitled to a presumption of reasonableness and that, upon our de novo review, this court should grant him diversion. Because the trial court failed to consider all the appropriate factors and to make the required findings to support its denial of judicial diversion, the judgment of the trial court is reversed. Because we find that the record is insufficient for de novo review, the case is remanded for a new sentencing hearing.
