Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Glenard Cortez Thorne, Tiptonville, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; and Abigail H. Hornsby, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

In 2008, the Petitioner, Glenard Cortez Thorne, was convicted of two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping and sentenced to a term of twenty-one years for each conviction. In 2024, the Petitioner applied for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the trial court failed to consider a required statutory mitigating factor at sentencing. The habeas corpus court summarily dismissed the application, and the Petitioner appealed. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgments of the habeas corpus court.
