Attorneys 1: Manuel B. Russ (on appeal), and Mike Engle and Ryan Davis (at trial), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Tevin Griffin.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Nicholas W. Spangler, Associate Solicitor General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Ronald Dowdy and Macy Pesavento, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Tevin Wayne Griffin, was convicted by a Davidson County jury for the premeditated first degree murder of the victim and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Defendant appeals, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in determining that during trial Defendant opened the door to previously excluded cell site location data and that the evidence was insufficient to establish that he acted with premeditation. Upon our review of the entire record, oral arguments and briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
