State of Tennessee v. Robert M. Bass

Case Number
M2003-01124-CCA-R3-CD

The Appellant, Robert M. Bass, appeals the sentencing decision of the Stewart County Circuit Court following revocation of his community corrections sentences. The trial court's order provides that Bass is to serve eighteen months in the county jail and, upon service of this term, return to community corrections supervision for the balance of his sentences. Bass argues that the trial court is without authority to impose a sentence in excess of one year's confinement in the jail. The State concedes error. We agree and remand for further proceedings.
