Attorneys 1: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; David H. Findley, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jennings H. Jones, District Attorney General; and Sharon L. Reddick and Hugh Ammerman, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the Appellant, State of Tennessee.

Attorneys 2: Luke A. Evans and Michael S. Hibdon (on appeal and at hearing), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Jennifer L. Thompson (at hearing), Nashville, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Inman D. Turner.

Judge(s): OGLE

In 2019, the Appellee, Inman D. Turner, was charged in the Rutherford County Circuit Court with two counts of criminal sexual conduct and four counts of aggravated rape, Class X felonies, for offenses that allegedly occurred from 1978 to 1982. The Appellee filed a motion to dismiss the indictment for prosecutorial delay. The trial court held an evidentiary hearing and granted the motion, and the State appeals. Based upon the oral arguments, the record, and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
