Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 3, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Emma Rae Tennent, Assistant Public Defender (on appeal); Martesha Johnson Moore, District Public Defender; and Joan Lawson, Anne Berry, and Michaela R.M. Strout, Assistant District Public Defenders (at trial), for the appellant, Keiresha Majors.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin A. Ball, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Deborah M. Housel and David O. Jones, Jr., Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

A Davidson County jury found the Defendant, Keiresha Majors, guilty of one count of second degree murder, for which she was sentenced to twenty-five years’ incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence, the admission of recordings of a Facebook Live broadcast she recorded shortly after the victim’s murder, the restriction of cross-examination of a witness, and the length of her sentence. After review, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
