Appellate Judge Jerry Smith has been arrested for DUI in Knoxville. Like all offenders he is entitled to a presumption of innocence. Judge Smith has been a tremendous public servant for many years, both in the Judiciary and as an Assistant Attorney General. However, no one is above the law. Whoever an offender may be, if guilty, the offender in our State recieves the same sentence, fine, license suspension and help as anyone else.
