Judge Stacy Street was sworn in as the newest judge on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals in a ceremony held last week at the Supreme Court building in Knoxville. His appointment fills the vacancy created by Justice Kyle Hixson's elevation to the Tennessee Supreme Court. First Judicial District Criminal Court Judge Lisa Rice of Elizabethton administered the oath of office.
