State of Tennessee v. Michael Lee Priest

The appellant, Michael Lee Priest, pled guilty in the Sequatchie County Circuit Court to robbery in case number 2013CR84 and received a four-year sentence with the manner of service to be determined by the trial court.  As a result of his guilty plea, the trial court revoked a four-year sentence of probation for aggravated assault in case number 2012CR136.  After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered that the appellant serve both sentences in confinement.  On appeal, the appellant contends that the trial court erred by allowing the State to cross-examine his mother about conduct that occurred as a juvenile and by not granting his requests for alternative sentencing.  Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
