Eric Ross Sewell v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The petitioner pled guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual battery, Class B felonies, and one count of attempted aggravated sexual battery, a Class C felony. Subsequently, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel as its main issue. Following a hearing, the court denied relief, and the petitioner timely appealed. On appeal, the petitioner argues that the record shows that trial counsel was ineffective and that the post-conviction court showed bias in its ruling and incorrectly limited his proof at the hearing. Following our review, we affirm the denial of post-conviction relief.
