Clyde Lee Blackmon v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Clyde Lee Blackmon, appeals as of right the Shelby County Criminal Court’s  denying his petition for post-conviction relief from his 2004 conviction of second degree murder, a Class A felony, for which he is serving a twenty-five-year sentence as a Range I, violent offender. The petitioner claims he received the ineffective assistance of counsel, which rendered his guilty plea involuntary. We conclude no error exists, and we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
