Judge David Bragg Nears Retirement After 12 Years on the Bench Dec 29, 2020 at 06:15 pm by WGNS
After more than a decade of public service, 16th Judicial District Circuit Judge David Bragg will retire effective Jan. 1st, 2021. A lifelong Murfreesboro resident, Judge Bragg won his seat on the bench in 2008, following the retirement of Judge James Clayton.
Judge Bragg still remembers how his first day on the job found him feeling excited and unprepared for what was to come. His new colleague on the Sixteenth Judicial District Circuit Court, Judge Don Ash, called him and informed him that he had a defendant on his docket who wished to enter a plea. Unaware of the process of taking a plea, Judge Bragg told Judge Ash he didn’t know what to do.
