State of Tennessee v. Jacady Dwight Terry

Syllabus

The Defendant, Jacady Dwight Terry, was convicted by a jury of violating the motor vehicle habitual offender (\MVHO\) law, for which he received a five-year sentence. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred (1) by admitting the MVHO order into evidence because it was void (2) by concluding that the MVHO violation was a strict liability offense and declining to give a mens rea instruction and (3) by refusing to apply the \lesser penalty\ provision of the criminal savings statute to the Defendant's sentence.1 Following our review, we affirm.
