State of Tennessee v. Derrick Lee Johnson
Syllabus
Derrick Lee Johnson, Defendant, appeals from the Rutherford County Circuit Court's judgment revoking his probation and ordering him to serve the balance of his probationary sentence of eight years in confinement. On appeal, Defendant argues the trial court abused its discretion by improperly considering Defendant's indicted charges instead of the ones for which he was ultimately convicted, and by failing to consider whether alternative sentencing would serve the ends of justice. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Judges: Judge Matthew J. Wilson
