Former TN Rep Robin Smith will avoid Jail

Robin Smith
The Tennessean, Jan. 7, 2026- Robin Smith, the former Tennessee lawmaker sentenced for running a scheme to defraud taxpayers, is no longer going to prison.

A federal judge on Jan. 5 reduced the sentence for Smith, 62, from eight months in prison to a year of probation. U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson's decision came two months after President Donald Trump pardoned Smith's two co-defendants, former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his ex-chief of staff Cade Cothren.

Trump did not pardon Smith, who testified against Casada and Cothren at trial. She is still seeking a pardon, her attorney Ben Rose said in an emailed statement. (link)
