The "Sergeant Daniel Baker Act" is a Tennessee law enacted in 2019
to expedite the appeals process in death penalty cases. Named in
honor of Dickson County Sheriff's Sergeant Daniel Baker, who was
tragically killed in 2018, the law mandates that death penalty
cases be automatically reviewed by the Tennessee Supreme Court,
bypassing the Court of Criminal Appeals. This change aims to speed
up the judicial process for capital punishment cases.

The law was passed following the murder of Sergeant Baker, who was
fatally shot while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle.
The incident led to the arrest and conviction of Steven Wiggins,
who was sentenced to death for the crime. In addition to the
expedited appeals process, the law reflects Tennessee's commitment
to swift justice in cases involving the death penalty.
