Man Convicted of Murder in Bedford County

With 14 prior Georgia incarcerations and a local first-degree murder conviction, 29-year-old Jeremy Lee Fleming learned Thursday he’ll be elderly before becoming eligible to be released from prison for the 2016 murder of Robert Timothy Perkins in Bedford County.
Fleming wants a private meeting with the judge but that won’t happen, according to the judge. His attorney has filed a post-trial motion on Fleming’s behalf which is scheduled for March 18.
In Tennessee, this does not mean Fleming has appealed his murder conviction. It simply means that he will be allowed to plead his case, post-sentencing, before the judge. (Shelbyville Times-Gazette)
