Timothy Carl Johnson, Jr. v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Timothy Carl Johnson, Jr., pled guilty to attempted second degree murder, theft of property valued over $1000, attempted escape, burglary, nine counts of burglary of a vehicle, and ten counts of theft of property valued under $500. The trial court sentenced him to eighteen years in prison. The Petitioner filed a petition for post-conviction relief in which he alleged he received the ineffective assistance of counsel. The post-conviction court dismissed this petition after a hearing. On appeal, the Petitioner contends his trial counsel was ineffective because he did not adequately investigate the case. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the post-conviction court’s judgment.
