Mario A. Reed v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Mario A. Reed, appeals from the denial of post-conviction relief by the Criminal Court of Montgomery County.  He was convicted of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated rape, and theft under $500, and received an effective sentence of forty years in the Tennessee Department of Correction.  In this appeal, he claims that he received ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel.  Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
