In Christopher Johnson v. Tennessee Department of Correction, No. 95-2065-II (Tenn. Ct. App. filed Aug. 7, 1996), the defendant was arrested, tried and convicted for burglary, and sentenced to fifteen years. At a subsequent and separate trial, the jury found him guilty of another charge of second degree burglary, and the trial court imposed a ten-year sentence to be served consecutively to the original sentence, for a total effective sentence of twenty-five years. The defendant remained incarcerated throughout the two trials and convictions and was transferred to the penitentiary on May 3, 1998. The Court concluded that the statute did not secure jail credits against both sentences from the defendant's incarceration.
