Terrell Burgess v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Terrell Burgess, appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his guilty pleas to first degree felony murder, aggravated robbery, and two counts of aggravated assault and his resulting effective sentence of life plus ten years in the Department of Correction (DOC). He contends (1) that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel and (2) that his attorney coerced him into pleading guilty. We affirm the trial court's denial of the petition.
