Judge:WELLES
First Paragraph:
The Defendant, Jamil Butler, appeals as of right pursuant to Rule 3 of
the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. He was convicted by a
Davidson County jury of one count of aggravated robbery and sentenced
as a standard, Range I offender to twelve years imprisonment. He
appeals his conviction, raising the following issues for our review:
(1) That the trial court erred in denying the Defendant's motion to
suppress the identification of him from a photographic lineup; (2)
that the trial court erred in allowing the State's witnesses who
viewed the impermissibly suggestive photographic lineup to testify at
trial; (3) that the trial court erred in allowing the jury to view
surveillance photos from another robbery; (4) that the trial court
erred in denying the Defendant's motion to dismiss because the
audiotape of the preliminary hearing was lost; (5) that the evidence
was insufficient to support a verdict of guilt; and (6) that trial
counsel rendered ineffective assistance. We affirm the judgment of
the trial court.

JONAS ROME COLE
vs.
STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court:TCCA
Attorneys:
For the Appellant: For the Appellee:
Richard McGee Charles W. Burson
Washington Sq Two, Ste 417 Attorney General of Tennessee
222 Second Avenue, North and
Nashville, TN 37201 Karen M. Yacuzzo

and
D. Paul DeWitt
Asst District Attorney General
Washington Square, Suite 500
222 Second Avenue, North
Nashville, TN 37201-1649
Judge:Tipton
First Paragraph:
The petitioner, Jonas Rome Cole, appeals as of right from the Davidson
County Circuit Court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction
relief after an evidentiary hearing. The trial court dismissed the
petition, holding that it was barred by the applicable statute of
limitations and that the issues raised in the petition were without
merit. The petitioner contends that the petition is not barred by the
statute of limitations. He argues that he is entitled to
post-conviction relief because he received the ineffective assistance
of counsel at trial and on appeal, his equal protection rights were
violated by the state's discriminatory exercise of its peremptory
challenges, and the reasonable doubt jury instruction that was given
at his trial allowed the jury to convict him based on a lower standard
of proof than is constitutionally required. We affirm the judgment of
the trial court.
