In July of 2009, a Rutherford County Circuit Court jury convicted Elgene K. Porter on charges that included conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated rape. Porter was sentenced to spend forty-two years behind bars, but claims that the sentence was illegal.
