STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JEREMIAH NANCE

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 14, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Cory Shaun Hancock, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jeremiah Nance.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Danny Goodman, Jr., District Attorney General; and Timothy Boxx, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The defendant, Jeremiah Nance, was convicted by a Dyer County Circuit Court jury of evading arrest in a motor vehicle with risk of death or injury for which he was sentenced to three years’ incarceration. On appeal, the defendant argues that: (1) the trial court erred in allowing testimony that the police were responding to a domestic call; (2) the trial court erred in not allowing the victim to assert her Fifth Amendment right not to testify; and (3) the trial court committed plain error in allowing the prosecutor to misstate the evidence during closing argument. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
