State of Tennessee v. James N. Harrell

Defendant, James N. Harrell, seeks interlocutory review of the Warren County Circuit Court’s affirmance of the State’s denial of his application for pretrial diversion. Defendant is charged with vehicular homicide by recklessness, four counts of reckless aggravated assault, underage possession and consumption of alcohol, and underage driving while impaired. After unsuccessfully requesting pretrial diversion, Defendant appealed to the trial court, who determined that the district attorney general had not abused his discretion when denying Defendant’s request. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
