State of Tennessee v. Gilberto Canales, Jr.

Case Number
W2015-00359-CCA-R3-CD

Defendant, Gilberto Canales, Jr., was indicted for one count of aggravated rape. After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of the lesser-included offense of rape. On appeal, Defendant argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, that the trial court erred by admitting hearsay evidence, and that the prosecutor committed prosecutorial misconduct by making misleading statements and arguing improperly admitted evidence during closing argument. After a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
