Assasdot Starling v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Assadot Starling, pled guilty in the Davidson County Criminal Court to possession of .5 grams or more of cocaine in a drug free zone with the intent to sell or deliver. He received a sentence of eight years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. Thereafter, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that his counsel was ineffective and that his pleas were not knowingly and voluntarily entered. The postconviction court denied the petition, and the Petitioner appeals. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
