THAPAR, Circuit Judge. These cases present two types of claims: some filed too soon, and some filed too late. After a federal officer shot Terrance Kellom, Kellom’s estate and family members sued. But the estate sued before seeking administrative remedies, and the family raised their claims after the statute of limitations passed. The district court dismissed the claims as premature or untimely. We affirm.

Nashville Chief of Police John Drake yesterday confirmed the authenticity of documents purporting to be the writings of the Covenant School shooter, the AP reports. Drake said he was “greatly disturbed” by the unauthorized release of three pages from the shooter who killed six people at The Covenant School in March.

Officials from the U.S. Department of Education declined to participate in a meeting of a state legislative working group tasked with determining whether Tennessee can reject federal education funding and replace it with state dollars, the Tennessean reports. According to the news source, federal education officials were scheduled to testify before the working group this morning, but did not attend. “The Federal Department of Education has informed us they are unable to attend our task force meeting.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security has awarded 19 grants statewide this year to improve security at religious institutions, including four recent grants for Jewish centers in Knoxville, WBIR reports. The funds are part of a $750,000 budget appropriation for the Houses of Worship Security Grant Program. Applicants are required to demonstrate the threat and vulnerability to their organization as well as how funding would address gaps and deficiencies in current programs and capabilities. The move comes as a number of governors are calling on Congress to increase funding for security at places of worship, the Associated Press reports. The governors say the funding is needed to address growing concerns about the safety of Jewish and Muslim communities amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The Defendant-Appellant, Christopher Lee Goodwin, was convicted by a Maury County Circuit Court jury of felony murder committed in the perpetration of aggravated child neglect, and the trial court imposed a sentence of life imprisonment. On appeal, the Defendant argues: (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress statements made to police; (3) the aggravated child neglect statute violates due process with its vagueness; (4) the trial court violated his right to a fair trial when it overruled the defense objection and allowed the State to present evidence that the medical examiner in this case lost his medical license; (5) the trial court erred in sustaining the State’s hearsay objection to his questioning of an investigator about a statement that a witness allegedly made to him; (6) the trial court erred in not declaring a mistrial when an investigator testified about a domestic violence incident between the Defendant and the victim’s mother; and (7) that a single prosecution for felony murder predicated on both aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect violates double jeopardy. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
