Doyle Wayne Mason, Jr. v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Doyle Wayne Mason, Jr., appeals the denial of his post-conviction petition,
arguing that the post-conviction court erred in denying his claims that trial counsel was
ineffective by failing to object to the State’s closing argument, failing to adequately advise
him concerning the State’s plea offer, and failing to move to exclude discovery received
on the eve of trial. Petitioner further argues that appellate counsel was ineffective for
failing to raise on direct appeal the issue of Juror 2’s presence on the jury. Following our
review of the entire record and the briefs of the parties, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction
court.
