IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT JACKSON STATE OF TENNESSEE v. MARLON D. BEAUREGARD Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hardeman County No. 270467 Kerry Blackwood, Judge

No. W1999-01496-CCA-R3-CD - Decided May 26, 2000

JUDGE TIPTON concurring.

I concur in the majority opinion. I add only that I believe the trial courts should take reasonable measures, when practicable, to avoid any hint that a defendant may be under restraint, including the defendant being escorted into the courtroom by guards. There simply is no reason in most cases why a jury should observe such an event.
