Joseph Brown v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Joseph Brown, appeals as of right from the Shelby County Criminal Court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief challenging his guilty plea to one count of facilitation of first degree murder and two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping. The Petitioner contends that he received the ineffective assistance of trial counsel and that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered into. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
