Jeffrey Perry v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Jeffrey Perry, appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions of especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and resulting effective sentence of twenty-one years in confinement. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that he did not enter his guilty pleas voluntarily and that he received the ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Based upon the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction court.
