Jerry Graves v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Jerry Graves, was convicted by a Knox County jury of first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery and received sentences of life and twenty-three years. He seeks post-conviction relief, contending that his trial counsel was ineffective. On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in denying post-conviction relief because his trial counsel was ineffective in adopting a self-defense strategy at trial. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
