Matthew Sweet v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Matthew Lee Sweet, was convicted by a Greene County jury of two counts of aggravated child abuse. State v. Matthew Lee Sweet, No. E2007-00202-CCA-R3-PC, 2008 WL 1723431, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Knoxville, Apr. 15, 2008). He received an effective sentence of twenty-five years. Id.Petitioner’s convictions were affirmed in a delayed appeal. Id. Subsequently, Petitioner sought post-conviction relief on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel. After a hearing on the petition, the post-conviction court denied post-conviction relief and dismissed the petition. After a thorough review, we determine that Petitioner has failed to show clear and convincing evidence that he is entitled to post-conviction relief. Accordingly, the judgment of the post-conviction court is affirmed.
