Jack Layne Benson vs. State M1999-01649-CCA-R3-PC Authoring Judge: Judge Gary R Wade Trial Court Judge: W. Charles Lee The petitioner, Jack Layne Benson, appeals the trial court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. Convicted in 1996 of first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery, and sentenced to consecutive terms of life and 24 years, the petitioner contended that he was entitled to post-conviction relief on the grounds that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial and on direct appeal. In this appeal, the petitioner argues that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to adequately communicate, for failing to adequately investigate, and for failing to obtain a transcript of the preliminary hearing. The petitioner argues that his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to present additional issues on direct appeal. Because the petitioner has been unable to establish both deficiency in the performance of his counsel and prejudice in consequence thereof, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

State of Tennessee v. Arnold V. Porter 01C01-9410-CC-00353 Authoring Judge: Judge Joseph M. Tipton Trial Court Judge: Judge Gerald L. Ewell, Sr. The defendant, Arnold V. Porter, appeals from a jury conviction in the Circuit Court of Coffee County for two counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, a Class E felony. The defendant received two two-year sentences as a Range I, standard offender to be served concurrently in addition to a fine of twenty-five hundred dollars in each count. In this appeal as of right, he presents the following issues: I. whether the evidence is sufficient to support guilty verdicts for felony reckless endangerment, II. whether he was denied a fair trial because the jury did not represent a fair cross-section of the community, III. whether the trial court imposed an excessive sentence, and IV. whether the trial court abused its discretion in raising his bond pending appeal.
