Victor Andrea Askew v. State of Tennessee

Victor Andrea Askew, the Petitioner, filed a Petition for Post-Conviction Relief alleging a single claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to argue that the judge ruling on the motion for new trial should apply the version of Tennessee Code Annotated section 17-1-305 that was in effect at the time of the Petitioner’s offense.  The post-conviction court denied relief.  Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
