State of Tennessee v. Darren Brown

The defendant, Darren Brown, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of first degree premeditated murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. On appeal, he argues that (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in denying his motion for mistrial in light of the prosecutor’s improper closing argument; and (3) the State’s comment on the defendant’s post-arrest silence constitutes plain error. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
