State of Tennessee v. Delarie Katrice Purnell

The Defendant, Delarie Katrice Purnell, pled guilty to sale and delivery of a Schedule VI controlled substance (counts 1 and 2), sale and delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance (counts 3 and 4), sale and delivery of a Schedule I controlled substance (counts 5 and 6), speeding (count 7), and simple possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance (count 8). At the sentencing hearing, the trial court denied alternative sentencing. The Defendant appeals, arguing that her sentence is excessive and contrary to law. Citing the Defendant’s previous criminal convictions and criminal conduct, the court ordered the Defendant to serve an effective sentence of ten years as a Range I Standard Offender. After reviewing the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
