Clarence E. McCaleb v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Clarence E. McCaleb, appeals from the Knox County Criminal Court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction DNA analysis. The petition sought DNA testing of a fork found on the victim's bedroom floor. The Petitioner now appeals, arguing that DNA analysis of the fork would result in a reasonable probability that he would not have been prosecuted or convicted if DNA profiles inconsistent with the Petitioner's and the victim's were discovered. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction court.
