Carl Stevenson v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Carl Stevenson, appeals the judgment of the Shelby County Criminal Court denying his petition for post-conviction relief. The petitioner, pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, pled guilty to criminal attempt murder in the first degree and especially aggravated robbery and received a concurrent sentence of 15 years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he contends that the post-conviction court erred when it found that the petitioner failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he had received ineffective assistance of counsel. After review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
