You must hire an attorney now. Public Defenders will just plead you guilty. A conviction will destroy you. Criminal Discovery will be very significant to you defending yourself, but you must put on an active defense with your own testimony.

Not sure of your question. But you need an attorney to examine the Court File and properly determine your conviction and sentence. Then you might know what you have to do to complete it. It is critical to know if you have supervised probation or not, so at least call the local PO office.

There are no default judgments in criminal prosecutions. Default Judgments in civil matters against a deceased party happen alot. The heirs and next of kin might want to contest the default. If so, hire a competent TN attorney.
