Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Kendall Stivers Jones, Assistant Public Defender, Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference (on appeal); Todd Estep, District Public Defender; and Roland E. Cowden, Assistant District Public Defender (at sentencing hearing), for the appellant, Shoshanna Cabanting.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Park Huff, Assistant Attorney General; Dan E. Armstrong, District Attorney General; and Bradley R. Jones, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

A Hancock County jury convicted the Defendant, Shoshanna Cabanting, of vandalism as a Class A misdemeanor. The trial court imposed a sentence of eleven months and twenty- nine days, with thirty days to be served in confinement and the remainder suspended to probation. In a prior appeal, this court reversed and remanded the case for a limited resentencing hearing. On remand, the trial court made additional findings and reimposed the same sentence. The Defendant again challenges the split-confinement portion of her sentence and requests that this court impose full probation instead. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgment of the trial court.
