The Tennessee Supreme Court will hear four cases on Wednesday and will livestream oral arguments to its YouTube channel. The cases are In re Neveah M, an expedited appeal that examines the grounds for termination of parental rights; Snake Steel Inc. v. Holladay Construction Group LLC, which involves retainage fees and statutory penalties under Tennessee’s Prompt Pay Act; State of Tennessee v. Shalonda Weems, in which the state is appealing a Court of Criminal Appeal’s decision to set aside a jury conviction for aggravated child neglect; and State of Tennessee v. Samantha Grissom Scott, in which the defendant is seeking to invalidate a search warrant and evidence obtained during the search, arguing that her consent to search the home was involuntary.
