State v. Thacker6/30/2000
r. His work history is minimal and he has no assets. In our view, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant a community corrections sentence. State v. Grigsby, 957 S.W.2d 541, 547 (Tenn. Crim. App. 1997). The defendant has been unable to meet his burden of showing that his special needs can be better addressed in a community corrections program. The failure of the defendant to respond in a positive fashion to prior attempts at rehabilitation supports the conclusion reached by the trial court. Prior alternative sentences have been unsuccessful.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
