“The information does not include a real dollar amount of monies that was defrauded, it does indicate that the damage is good faith representation for lack of a better term — so in other words the government is alleging that what happened in this case basically cost taxpayers the good representation of this representative so that’s sort of a hard one to put a finger on as to where that’s going to go in the sentencing guidelines,” Todd said.

Chattanooga Republican Representative Robin Smith has resigned after she was charged with federal wire fraud.

“I don’t think there’s going to be any question that he didn’t do it; I think the question is what was his state of mind when he did do it,” attorney and former prosecutor Jim Todd said.

That question could be key in determining the outcome of the court case.

Nearly four years after the 2018 Antioch Waffle House Shooting, trial is finally underway.

“Normally in Davidson County, TN, for a person with no record who is convicted or pleads guilty to assault, you’re not looking at going to jail. You’re looking at some sort of probation with some sort of counseling,” says Todd.

New video footage of Titans player Bud Dupree shows some of what police say happened inside a Nashville Walgreens store.

Based on a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 where a Colorado baker denied a homosexual couple a wedding cake, judges voted in favor of the baker because of how he articulated his religious beliefs. But Nashville Attorney Jim Todd said if there were different circumstances, based on the judge’s opinions, there could have easily been an alternate outcome.

The couple took to social media to alert friends within the LGBTQ community that they would not be welcome at the venue if any were looking to get married in the future.

Jim Todd has been practicing law for more than a quarter of a century. And as a defense attorney who also spent more than a decade in the Nashville District Attorney’s office, he’s seen the legal system from both sides.

But next week, it won’t be an ordinary civilian going on trial. It’ll be a Nashville police officer, the first to be charged with murder for an on-duty killing.

Todd says it’s a very difficult case to break down.

Jim Todd, who's practiced as a Nashville prosecutor and a defense attorney, says the first murder trial against a Nashville police officer for an on-duty shooting is a very difficult case to break down.

Legal analysts said she has a better case, but the state would have to prove she knowingly failed to protect her son.

Police said Krystal Daniels admitted to being present at the Daniels’ Dickson County home on April 4, 2018, when Joseph Daniels killed Joe Clyde Daniels.

On Saturday her husband, Joseph Daniels, was found guilty of second-degree murder and felony murder in the death of their 5-year-old son Joe Clyde.

Todd is also a former prosecutor and says there’s some good to the reforms that loosen some sentences.

“It helps people who are on parole succeed, I think it loosens the restrictions on those who need to get into what are called treatment courts for drug addiction or mental health.”

Democrats say it’s one step forward and two steps back when it comes to certain laws being changed.

"It clearly is going to affect jury pools," Criminal Defense Attorney Jim Todd said, adding that while it's impossible to say whether those same societal pressures affect a verdict, it will likely be the primary argument for an appeal. "I don't think the specific trial will have a bearing on the Hambrick trial, however, I think it's going to be very difficult for a jury to put aside all of the violence that has been happening as a result of these instances."

A local professor and attorney weighed in on the social and legal impacts the Derek Chauvin trial could have on the upcoming officer trial in Nashville.
