Cortez Bennett v. State of Tennessee

A jury convicted the Petitioner, Cortez Bennett, of first degree premeditated murder, felony murder, attempted first degree murder, and two counts of especially aggravated robbery. This court affirmed the convictions on direct appeal and the Tennessee Supreme Court denied review. The Petitioner filed a petition for post-conviction relief, which the post-conviction court dismissed after a hearing. The Petitioner appeals, contending that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. After thoroughly reviewing the record and the applicable law, we conclude that there exists no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
