The Petitioner, Christopher Bassett, appeals from the Knox County Criminal Court’s
denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions for one count of first
degree murder; five counts of attempted first degree murder; three counts of attempted
second degree murder; two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm; eight counts of
employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony; and eight counts of
employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony having been convicted
of a drug offense, and his effective sentence of life plus thirty-five years. The Petitioner
alleges that the post-conviction court erred by denying relief on his ineffective assistance
of counsel claims. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
