Defendant\u2019s contention all along was that the shoes were not his, were the wrong size, and he had an alibi for the murder. Besides, it looks like there was no valid ground to suppress anyway. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsc.state.tn.us\/sites\/default\/files\/gardnerterrenceopn.pdf\">Gardner v. State<\/a>, 2012 Tenn. Crim.
