Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Tom Greenholtz and Andrew Freiberg, who is Circuit Court judge for Bradley, McMinn, Monroe and Polk counties, could be headed for the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.
The Governor’s Council for Judicial Appointments met Thursday to consider seven applicants for the two imminent vacancies on the Court of Criminal Appeals Eastern Section.
After holding a public hearing and conducting public interviews, the Council selected the following applicants:
Andrew Freiberg
Thomas Greenholtz
Kyle Hixson
Tracy Jenkins
The Council has forwarded these four names to Governor Bill Lee for his consideration.
These two vacancies were created by the decisions of the Honorable Norma McGee Ogle and the Honorable D. Kelly Thomas, Jr. not to file declarations of candidacy for retention in the August 2022 election.
