State v. Rogers green

2024In Rogers, the Court wrote that, “[o]ur research indicates that the [year-and-a-day] rule has never served as the ground of decision in any Tennessee case,” that “abolition of the rule does not allow the State to obtain a conviction upon less proof,” and that, prior to Rogers, “[T]he Court of Criminal Appeals [had] opined that the year-and-a-day rule had been abolished by passage of the - 23 - [Criminal Sentencing Reform] Act [of 1989].” Id. at 402 .

2024We followed the same course in State v. Rogers when we abolished the year-and-a- day rule. 992 S.W.2d 393 (Tenn. 1999).
