JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – The Eighth Judicial District Criminal Court, Judge Shayne Sexton’s court, began in-person proceedings earlier this month following a Tennessee Supreme Court Order that was filed Feb. 12.

The procedures implemented in previous attempts to reopen the court such as social distancing, limited facility capacities and face-covering mandates are being strictly enforced.

Previously, the court had operated by conducting its proceedings via Zoom. Moving forward, no Zoom links will be issued and all matters will be conducted in person in Sexton’s court. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED 04/01/2021- 6AM)
