State of Tennessee v. Seletta McKinnis

The Defendant, Seletta McKinnis, was arrested and pled guilty to failing to appear in court. She received a sentence of “time served.” The Defendant was subsequently indicted on separate offenses and applied for pretrial diversion. The prosecutor denied her application, explaining that she had previously served a sentence of confinement. She appealed to the Circuit Court, which also denied her application, and now she appeals, arguing that her “time served” sentence should not preclude her from pretrial diversion. Finding no error, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
