Jerry Ray Davidson v. State of Tennessee - Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Case Number
M2010-02663-SC-R11-PD

Initially, no words adequately describe the horrible nature of this murder.  Nevertheless, I concur with the majority that a new sentencing hearing is warranted based upon the ineffective assistance of counsel at the penalty stage of the trial. Moreover, I believe that the deficiency in counsel's performance was such that an entirely new trial should be granted. In that regard, I dissent.
