Candance Carol Bush v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Candance Carol Bush, appeals as of right from the denial of her petition for post-conviction relief.  The Petitioner contends that she received ineffective assistance of counsel based upon trial counsel’s advice that she not testify at trial and counsel’s failure to file a motion to sever the Petitioner’s case from that of her co-defendant.  The Petitioner further contends that the cumulative effect of these errors undermines the confidence in the outcome of her trial such that she is entitled to post-conviction relief.  After a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
