Ruslan Edward Woodbridge v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Ruslan Edward Woodbridge, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief for his conviction for rape of a child.  The Petitioner previously entered a guilty plea to rape of a child, a Class A felony, and received a sentence of 25 years’ confinement.  On appeal, he argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in relation to his guilty plea and that his plea was unknowing and involuntary.  Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
