Mario Donte Keene v. State of Tennessee

Case Number
E2022-01410-CCA-R3-PC

Following his convictions for felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, and especially
aggravated kidnapping, the Petitioner, Mario Donte Keene, filed a petition for postconviction
relief. The Petitioner alleged that his confession was unconstitutionally
admitted into evidence during his trial. He also asserted that he was denied the effective
assistance of counsel when his trial counsel failed to cross-examine a witness and failed to
present an expert to testify that he did not have the physical ability to commit the crimes.
After a hearing, the post-conviction court denied the petition. On appeal, we respectfully
affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
