REUBEN HICKOK FAIRFIELD v. GUY BOSCH, WARDEN

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 27, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Reuben Hickok Fairfield, Hartsville, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Lacy E. Wilber, Senior Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

In 2012, the Petitioner, Reuben Hickok Fairfield, pleaded guilty in the Madison County Circuit Court to the offenses of second degree murder and tampering with evidence. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of thirty-five years’ incarceration. The Petitioner later filed a pro se application for a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that his arrest warrant was void and that, as a result, his indictment and judgments were likewise void. The habeas corpus court summarily dismissed the application, concluding that the Petitioner had failed to state a cognizable claim for habeas corpus relief. The Petitioner now appeals. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.
