Heading: Introduction of Undergarment of Victim Angela Holmes

Text: During the trial, Tobaris Holmes identified the clothing his wife was wearing on the night of her murder. The clothing was found at the crime scene and included Angela Holmes's bra. The State moved for the admission of the articles of clothing into evidence without objection. Appellant now argues that the court should have removed the bra from evidence. Appellant argues that the bra had little or no relevancy and that any relevancy was outweighed by the prejudice it caused. Appellant failed to object when the bra was admitted into evidence. The failure to make a contemporaneous objection constitutes a waiver of the issue on appeal. Tenn. R.App. P. 36(a); see also State v. Little, 854 S.W.2d 643, 651 (Tenn. Crim.App.1992). This issue is without merit.
