Chain-of-custody Case

This is a rare post on this blog because it involves a criminal case styled State v. Banks, No. 40600738, No. M2008-00044-CCA-R3-CD (Tenn. Crim. App. Aug. 11, 2009). Pages 9-12 of this slip opinion offer a good discussion on the law relating to the chain of custody of evidence offered at trial.

Here's a link to the opinion:
