Cordell L. Butler v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Cordell L. Butler, filed in the Davidson County Criminal Court a petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions of conspiracy to sell over fifty grams of hydromorphone and possession of over fifty grams of hydromorphone.  The Petitioner alleged that his trial counsel was ineffective and that his guilty pleas were not knowing and voluntary.  The post-conviction court denied the petition, and the Petitioner appeals.  Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
