Lamar Ross v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Lamar Ross, appeals from the post-conviction court’s denial of post-conviction relief as it relates to the petitioner’s convictions on two counts of aggravated rape, which were merged into a single judgment of conviction by the trial court and modified on direct appeal. On appeal from the judgment of the post-conviction court, the petitioner asserts that trial counsel was ineffective and that he was thereby prejudiced. Following our review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court denying post-conviction relief.
