Derrick McClure v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Derrick McClure, was convicted of first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and two counts of especially aggravated robbery. Following a jury trial, the petitioner received an effective sentence of life plus twenty-five years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the petitioner asserts that the post-conviction court erred in failing to find that due process considerations tolled the statute of limitations to allow him reasonable time to file his petition asserting the ineffective assistance of counsel. Following a review of the parties’ briefs, the record, and applicable law, we affirm the denial of post-conviction relief.
