State of Tennessee v. Jason Matthew Campbell

Case Number
M2020-01045-CCA-R3-CD

The Defendant, Jason Matthew Campbell, appeals his convictions and effective twenty-three-year sentence for possession of more than 0.5 grams of methamphetamine with the intent to sell or deliver, possession of a firearm by a convicted violent felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.  The Defendant argues that the evidence was insufficient to establish his constructive possession of the methamphetamine and pistol and that the prosecutor committed misconduct during rebuttal argument by violating the missing witness rule, shifting the burden of proof, and stating a personal opinion. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm.
