Courtney Perry v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Courtney Perry, sought post-conviction relief from his conviction of felony murder and especially aggravated robbery. The Shelby County Criminal Court denied relief after an evidentiary hearing. On appeal, the petitioner argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel because trial counsel failed to raise a proper defense of duress and failed to address why the petitioner was present at the murder scene. We affirm the denial of post-conviction relief.
