Ronald Fielding v. State of Tennessee - Dissenting

I respectfully dissent. I concur with the analysis in the majority opinion, as far as it goes.  I am concerned, though, with the trial court’s ruling that the Petitioner’s claims against trial counsel had been previously determined. I conclude that the record reflects that the Petitioner did not receive a full and fair hearing regarding trial counsel’s representation. I believe the case should be remanded to allow such a hearing on that issue.
