Johnie Jefferson v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Johnie Jefferson, appeals as of right from the order of the Shelby County Criminal Court denying his petition for post-conviction relief from his first degree murder conviction, for which he is serving a life sentence. The petitioner claims he received the ineffective assistance of trial counsel because his attorney failed to investigate two witnesses properly and failed to consult with him prior to trial. We conclude no error exists, and we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
