State of Tennessee v. Kevin Harris

Syllabus

Defendant, Kevin Harris, appeals his Cheatham County convictions for aggravated sexual battery and rape of a child. He contends on appeal that: (1) the trial court erred in admitting the victim's forensic interview; (2) the evidence was insufficient to establish penetration; and (3) the prosecutor committed multiple instances of improper argument during closing by (a) commenting on Defendant's failure to testify and (b) vouching for the victim's credibility. After review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Timothy L. Easter
