Shawn Fry has been appointed as the newest judge serving the 13th Judicial District Criminal Court.
Governor Bill Lee made the appointment Thursday. The legislature granted the district an additional judgeship in May, 2023 to assist with workload. The 13th district covers Clay, Cumberland, Dekalb, Overton, Pickett, Putnam and White counties.
Fry currently serves as an attorney at Fry, Fry, Knight & Looper. A Tennessee Tech graduate, Fry received his law degree from the Nashville School of Law.
The Trial Court Vacancy Commission considered five applicants to select a nominee for Lee. The applicants included William Blaylock, Rebecca Brady,
Brandon Griffin and Benjamin Marsee.
“I am proud to announce the appointment of these highly qualified individuals and value the significant experience they will bring to their respective roles,” Lee said.
