IS IT AGAINST TENNESSEE LAW to RECORD A CONVERSATION ON MY IPHONE BETWEEN ME AND ANOTHER PERSON IF THE SECOND PARTY BROUGHT A THIRD PARTY IN TO WITNESS THE CONVERSATION? MOST IMPORTANTLY CAN I USE IT IN COURT AGAINST THE PERSON IF THE CAUSE SLANDER AGAINST MY NAME?
EXAMPLE: I JANE SMITH WALKED INTO JOHN DOE'S OFFICE. JOHN DOE TOLD HIS EMPLOYEE BILLY BOB TO COME WITNESS THE CONVERSATION. 5 MINUTES LATER JOHN DOE ASKED JANE SMITH TO LEAVE BECAUSE HE WAS BEING RECORDED. JANE SMITH RECORDED CONVERSATION BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO SUE JOHN DOE FOR SLANDER

Tennessee is a one party consent state. So, one of the parties must consent. Also, if the conversation is one made in public or without expectation of privacy, consent is not required. The question may be whether or not the third party makes it a public conversation (no longer have an expectation of privacy) or is a part of the conversation and should be consulted for consent.
