Does anyone know if defense attorneys in capital cases have to be "death penalty qualified" in Tennessee? (In my state, there is no such requirement).

I looked that up the other day. There are requirements about how long you must practice. To sit on a DP trial you have to have a certain level like practicing criminal law for x years and undergoing special training. To be lead attorney you have to meet higher qualifications, including being co-counsel on a DP case.
Listening to that brief commentary of the Nicks on Channel 5 - they think this is a strong witness with good points for the defense? I don't get that at all
i am concerned that so much talk about Britt is going to catch on with at least one juror.
