State of Tennessee v. David Edward Howington
01S01-9407-CC-00073
Authoring Judge: Justice Adolpho A. Birch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Gasaway

The district attorney general refused to honor an informal immunity agreement1 made with David Edward Howington, the defendant. The reason stated for this refusal was the prosecutor's perception that Howington had not fulfilled his part of the bargain; that is, he had not testified truthfully at his preliminary hearing. He was subsequently tried and convicted of first-degree (felony) murder; he received a life sentence.

Nancy M. Cronin v. John W. Howe, M.D.
03S01-9406-CV-00053
Authoring Judge: Chief Justice Riley Anderson
Trial Court Judge: Judge Wheeler Rosenbalm

The issue in this appeal is whether the Tennessee savings statute1operates to save a medical malpractice action which was initially filed within the three-year statute of repose, but which was voluntarily dismissed and refiled beyond the three-year statute of repose.2 We hold that it does. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the cause remanded to the trial court.
