Topic: Aggravated assault - Reduction of sentence - Jurisdiction

Summary of the Facts: Ronald Robinson pled guilty to the crime of aggravated assault and was sentenced to serve fifteen years. He filed a motion asking the judge to reconsider his sentence. The judge denied the motion, and Robinson appeals.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: A criminal defendant may challenge a trial court proceeding by way of a direct appeal or a proceeding under the Post-Conviction Relief Act. Robinson is not directly appealing his conviction, nor would a petition for post-conviction relief be applicable due to the nature of the relief Robinson seeks. Therefore, the court correctly denied his motion.
