Rodney Nelson v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Rodney Nelson, appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The petitioner, in three separate cases, pled guilty to eight counts of aggravated robbery, Class B felonies, and two counts of aggravated burglary, Class C felonies, and received an effective sentence of 21.6 years as a mitigated offender. On appeal, the petitioner raises the single issue of whether his guilty plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily. Following review of the record, we find no error and affirm the denial.
