George A. Johnson v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, George A. Johnson, was convicted by a Sevier County Jury of rape and statutory rape. As a result, he received an effective sentence of twenty years. Petitioner appealed his convictions and sentence to this Court. See State v. George A. Johnson, No. E2003-02881-CCA-R3-CD, 2005 WL 225025, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Knoxville, Jan. 31, 2005), perm. app. denied (Tenn. May 2, 2005). Petitioner subsequently sought post-conviction review on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel. The post-conviction court denied the petition, determining that Petitioner failed to carry the burden required for post-conviction relief. We agree and, therefore, affirm the denial of the post-conviction petition.
