Q: What is minimum time to serve on a Class A Felony 18 year sentence for aggravated assault on minor under 6 years old?
She has been incarcerated in Tennessee for 7 years and judge told her she wouldn't be released until 2030, what are her realistic chances of being released in 2020-2022 while appealing on her own?
A:
Aggravated Assault is either a C or D Felony, so she is convicted of something else, probably Attempted Murder or a Child Abuse Crime.
Without looking at the Judgment of Conviction(s), I would guess she will have to serve at least 15.3 years prior to a Parole Eligibility Date. Maybe 2027 at the earliest. If she actually does some sort of Appeal or Post Conviction Action, she then might be successful.
