How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that under Tennessee Code Annotated section 40-35-313(a)(1)(A) (1997), a trial court may not impose judicial diversion except with the consent of the defendant
  • concluding that no Rule 3 appeal could be filed from an order granting judicial diversion because no judgment of conviction existed and no denial of probation occurred
  • holding that the affidavit must contain information which will allow a magistrate to determine whether the facts are too stale to establish probable cause at the time issuance of the warrant is sought
  • holding that a defendant had no right to appeal a certified question of law as to an evidentiary ruling because the defendant had received judicial diversion and therefore had no judgment of conviction and corresponding right to appeal
  • explaining that an affiant’s words should be given their ordinary meaning and interpretation
  • noting that “the guilty plea which results in an order of judicial diversion is not consummated into a judgment of conviction, unless the defendant breaches the conditions of his diversion/probation” and that a Rule 3 appeal is not available
