James Peck v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner appeals the lower court's denial of his post-conviction relief petition. The petitioner entered a plea of nolo contendere to aggravated assault as a Range II offender, for which he was sentenced to ten years' incarceration at 35 percent. He contends on appeal that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to properly investigate his case and that his plea was entered involuntarily. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
