State of Tennessee v. Charles Griffin

Syllabus

A jury convicted the Defendant, Charles Griffin, of first degree felony murder for a shooting committed during the course of a robbery. The Defendant appeals his conviction, arguing that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to convict him of first degree felony murder, that the trial court abused its discretion in allowing the State to introduce as evidence a photograph of the victim taken during the victim's lifetime, and that the court erred in denying his motion for DNA testing and a continuance. After review of the record, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

Judges: Judge John Everett Williams
