Tennessee to launch first-in-the-nation domestic violence offender registry Jan. 1

Tennessee will become the first state in the nation to launch a public domestic violence offender registry, a new tool supporters say could help prevent future violence by making repeat abusers easier to identify. The registry, created under Savanna’s Law, takes effect Jan. 1 and applies to people convicted of domestic violence offenses at least twice. It is named after Savanna Puckett, a Robertson County sheriff’s deputy who was found shot to death inside her burning home in 2022. Puckett, 22, died at the hands of her ex-boyfriend James Jackson Conn, who pleaded guilty to first-degree premeditated murder, among other charges, and is serving a life sentence. It wasn't until after the tragedy that investigators discovered Conn had a history of domestic violence and stalking. “Tennessee is number four in states where men kill women,” said Verna Wyatt with Tennessee Voices for Victims. “So, we have a domestic violence epidemic.” https://fox17.com/news/local/tennesse... _______________ Follow!
