Nashville, TN - On July 29, 2009, the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville issued a new opinion in the case of Tennessee v. Carl Allen Farris.
Mr. Farris pleaded guilty to his fifth DUI and his seventh driving with license revoked charges. The sentence would be left up to the judge. On appeal, Farris claimed that the sentence that the judge gave was excessive. In its opinion, the Criminal Appeals court sided with the judge and affirmed Mr. Farris' sentence.
Mr. Farris also had outstanding probation violation warrants out of Coffee County and Davidson County.
Based on his history, the Court said that the sentence was entirely appropriate and was not excessive or inconsistent with the law or with other cases.
