State of Tennessee v. Robin Annette Harless

Defendant, Robin Annette Harless, was indicted by the Johnson County Grand Jury for two counts of Class D felony theft. Defendant was a housekeeper for each of the victims and committed the thefts of jewelry, collectible knives, and cash over a period of time while at work. She entered guilty pleas to the charges and requested the trial court to grant judicial diversion. Following a hearing where Defendant and both victims testified, the trial court denied judicial diversion and sentenced Defendant to sentences of three years, concurrent, for each offense, with periodic confinement requiring incarceration of fifty days. In her sole issue on appeal, Defendant asserts that the trial court erred by denying her request for judicial diversion. After review, we affirm pursuant to Rule 20 of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee.
