State of Tennessee v. Dominque Justice

Syllabus

In 2020, the Defendant, Dominque Justice, entered an open plea to twenty-eight counts of rape of a child, twenty counts of aggravated statutory rape, and forty-eight counts of incest. Eight months later, the Defendant filed a motion to withdraw his plea which the trial court denied. At the subsequent sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed an effective sentence of one hundred and five years. On appeal, the Defendant contends that his motion to withdraw his guilty plea should have been granted and that the trial court erred when it sentenced him. After review, we affirm the trial court's judgments.

Judges: Judge Robert W. Wedemeyer
