Michael J. Grant v. State of Tennessee - Dissenting

Case Number
E2003-00637-CCA-R3-PC
I respectfully dissent. The majority opinion summarily concludes that the petitioner could not “reasonably” rely on counsel’s assurances regarding his release. In essence, the opinion stands for the proposition that post-conviction relief will never be justified based upon counsel’s assurances regarding parole. I do not believe such to be true.
