James Young v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, James Young, filed a timely petition for post-conviction relief and two amended petitions for post-conviction relief. He appeals the denial of post-conviction relief, contending that he received ineffective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel’s failure to: (1) impeach a State’s witness, (2) subpoena an eyewitness to testify, and (3) request a jury instruction on selfdefense. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
