State of Tennessee v. Erwin Tyrone Halfacre

Before the court is the petition of the Defendant, Erwin Tyrone Halfacre, for an
accelerated interlocutory appeal pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 10B, Section 2, seeking
review of the trial court’s December 30, 2025 order denying the Defendant’s motion for
recusal. The Defendant also seeks a stay of the trial proceedings, which are scheduled to
begin on January 6, 2026. On January 5, 2026, this court denied the Defendant’s request
for a stay. Following our de novo review, we now affirm the trial court’s order denying
the Defendant’s motion for recusal.
