Derrick Sawyers v. State of Tennessee

The Wayne County Circuit Court dismissed Derrick Sawyers’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus
because the petitioner was not restrained of his liberty by reason of the challenged Davidson County convictions. The petitioner’s plea agreement called for a combination of consecutive and concurrent sentencing for three unrelated offenses, the last two of which were committed while the petitioner was on bond. Upon our review of the record and the applicable law, we vacate the circuit court’s order and remand.
