State of Tennessee v. Tavis Shields

Case Number
W2000-01404-CCA-R3-CD

The sole issue in this appeal is whether the trial court erred when it admitted into evidence a booking record purportedly containing the defendant's fingerprints. The defendant contends that the booking record is hearsay and not admissible under the business records exception to the hearsay rule. After a thorough review of the record, we conclude that the introduction of the defendant's booking record into evidence was proper as a business record. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
