State of Tennessee v. Jaselyn Grant

Syllabus

On appeal, the Defendant argues: (1) the trial court erred in admitting a photograph of the minor victim (2) the trial court erred in allowing a witness to testify about statements the minor victim made to her (3) the evidence is insufficient to sustain her convictions and (4) the trial court erred in including a \defense of another\ instruction in the jury charge. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
