State of Tennessee v. Carlos Green

The defendant was found guilty of first degree premeditated murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The defendant now appeals contending that (1) the trial court erred by allowing the defendant’s impeachment with  inadmissible evidence, and (2) he was denied a fundamentally fair trial because of improper questions and argument by the prosecution. We hold that (1) the defendant’s impeachment was improper, however, the  error was harmless, and (2) the State’s questions and argument were  not improper, and even if they were improper, they did not rise to the level of plain error.
