“'' 'We have repeatedly held that a party cannot, either in a civil or criminal case, sit by and not object to testimony, take his chance of acquittal or conviction on testimony deemed incompetent, and then ask a reversal for such testimony in this court.’ Cantrell v. State, 2 (Shan.) Tenn.Cas. 249. See Troxell v. State, 179 Tenn. 384 , 166 S.W.2d 777 . “The reason for the rule above announced is that the opposite party may be given an opportunity to act advisedly and not be entrapped into error after it is too late to remedy the matter by introducing other evidence which might be done upon specific objection. Crane v. State, 94 Tenn. 86 , 28 S.W. 317 ; Patterson v. State, 184 Tenn. 39 , 195 S.W.2d 26 .” Wilson v. State, 190 Tenn. 592 , 230 S.W.2d 1014 .”
