Thomas D. Smith v. State of Tennessee

The state appeals the Robertson County Circuit Court's granting of post-conviction relief to the petitioner, Thomas D. Smith. The state contends the post-conviction court erred in granting relief based upon the original trial court's failure to reduce to writing its answer to a jury question posed during deliberations at the petitioner's trial. Upon review of the record and the applicable law, we reverse the judgment of the post-conviction court.
