Morgan Moore v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Morgan Moore, entered guilty pleas to first degree murder and criminal responsibility for first degree murder for his involvement in the murders of his parents. He received concurrent sentences of life in prison. He thereafter filed a timely petition for post-conviction relief alleging that trial counsel failed to properly inform him of the nature and consequences of his guilty pleas, specifically, the length of a life sentence, and that as a result, his guilty pleas were not entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. Following an evidentiary hearing, the post-conviction court denied relief, and this appeal follows. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
