State of Tennessee v. Jamie Paul Click

In 2015, a Knox County jury convicted the Defendant, Jamie Paul Click, of conspiracy to
possess with the intent to sell or deliver 150 grams or more of heroin in a drug-free zone,
a Class A felony. Following amendments to the Drug-Free Zone Act, the Defendant, in
2022, filed a motion pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-17-432(h), seeking
resentencing of his Range II sentence of twenty-five years, which included a mandatory
minimum service requirement. The trial court found that it could not resentence the
Defendant to a lower release eligibility because such was not authorized by the statutory
language and denied the motion. We grant certiorari to vacate the trial court’s order and
remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
