State of Tennessee v. Joshua Moore
Syllabus
The Defendant, Joshua Moore, was convicted of first degree premeditated murder. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, specifically regarding whether he acted with premeditation. Additionally, he argues that the trial court erred by admitting a responding police officer's body camera (\bodycam\) footage, contending that the recording was overly prejudicial in violation of Tennessee Rule of Evidence 403. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
