State of Tennessee v. Eric Bledsoe

Syllabus

The Defendant, Eric Bledsoe, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of aggravated rape, aggravated burglary, and felony theft, for which he is serving an effective sixty-five-year sentence. He filed a motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1, which the trial court summarily dismissed for the failure to state a colorable claim. On appeal, he contends that the trial court erred in denying relief. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
