An Andersonville man was arrested in Nashville on Wednesday morning in connection with the May 2014 murder of a Hermitage woman, authorities said.

Caleb J. Cannon, 34, was arrested by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on a first-degree murder indictment in the case of Nichole “Nikki” Burgess, a Nashville area resident, the department announced on Twitter. Cannon’s bond has been set at $750,000.

He was arrested by Homicide-Cold Case Unit at Juvenile Court, where he was to have attended a hearing. In a press release later Wednesday, the MNPD said detectives made the arrest after more than one year of investigation.

The United States has a broken criminal justice system and a huge drug addiction epidemic, and the country leads the world in the number of people who are in prisons and jails. More than half of released prisoners re-offend and return to prison within three years.

Brad MacLean, an award-winning Nashville attorney and opponent of the death penalty who lives in Clinton, decided more than two years ago to help combat these major issues. He created and is supervising the nation’s first statewide residential drug recovery court, a pilot program and potential model for other states. On August 1, 2013, the Morgan County Residential Recovery Court opened at the Morgan County Correctional Complex, a state prison for men.

MacLean, who had volunteered in Judge Seth Norman’s residential drug court for Davidson County inmates, is program director at the Morgan County residential recovery court for nonviolent, drug-addicted felons across the state. [Read more…]
