State of Tennessee v. Arvester Brown

Syllabus

The Defendant, Arvester Brown, appeals his convictions for felony murder and especially aggravated robbery, for which he received an effective sentence of life imprisonment. On appeal, the Defendant contends that (1) the trial court erred in failing to declare a mistrial due to the behavior of one of the State's witnesses (2) the trial court erred in excluding evidence that the victim had agreed to carry out a \hit\ on the Defendant and (3) the State made improper statements during closing arguments. Upon reviewing the record and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
