Description
This appeal arises from the trial court's exclusion of expert testimony concerning eyewitness identification sought to be offered by the defendant in his trial for aggravated robbery. At trial, Eddie L. Coley, Jr., the defendant, sought to introduce expert testimony concerning eyewitness identification; at the State's objection, the trial court refused to admit the testimony. Coley appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeals. The intermediate court affirmed his conviction and sentence. Appealing to this Court, Coley contends that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to admit the expert testimony. We accepted review in this case to determine the admissibility of expert testimony concerning eyewitness identification. We hold that the testimony proffered here is inadmissible under Tenn. R. Evid. 702 and that the trial court, therefore, properly excluded the testimony of Coley's expert witness.
