The black t-shirt appears to say, “Great Smoky Mountains, 1934” and features a small Confederate flag in the center of the shirt.
Prosecutors did not appear to focus attention on the Confederate flag when the witness analyzed the photo. However, during the cross-examination of previous witnesses in the case, Tensing’s attorney were able to convey to the jury that the police department required officers to wear black undershirts. The witnesses also said the department did not provide officers with the shirts.
