State of Tennessee v. Caleb Josiah Cannon

Syllabus

A Davidson County jury convicted the Defendant, Caleb Josiah Cannon, of premeditated firstdegree murder, and the trial court sentenced him to life in prison. On appeal, the Defendant contends that: (1) the trial court erred when it denied his motion in limine to exclude evidence that a human remains detection dog alerted to the presence of the scent of human remains in the Defendant's home and car (2) the evidence is insufficient to prove that the victim was deceased or that the Defendant caused her death (3) the trial court erred when it admitted testimony from a witness identifying him in court because such testimony was tainted and (4) the trial court erred when it excluded defense proof. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
