Posted by: Azya Thornton on Nov 12, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald L. Coleman, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jody Pickens, District Attorney General; and Katie L. Ferguson and Benjamin C. Mayo, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee, for the appellant, State of Tennessee.

Attorneys 2: J. Colin Morris, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellee, Destiny Sharina Williams.

Judge(s): DYER

The State appeals the trial court’s dismissal of the indictment against the defendant, Destiny Sharina Williams, charging her with assault and abuse of a vulnerable adult. The State argues that dismissal was in error because the trial court based its decision on the State’s failure to object to a delayed dismissal of warrants against the defendant in city court. Upon our review of the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we reverse the trial court’s order dismissing the indictment, reinstate the charges against the defendant, and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.
