Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Terrell Tooten (on appeal and at hearing), Alex Jones (at hearing only), and Josie Holland, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Carlos Key.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Richard D. Douglas, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Steve Mulroy, District Attorney General; and Leslie Byrd and Regina Lucreziano, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Petitioner, Carlos Key, appeals the Shelby County Criminal Court’s dismissal of his post-conviction petition, seeking relief from his convictions of first degree premeditated murder and two counts of attempted first degree premeditated murder and resulting effective sentence of life plus fifty years. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the postconviction court erred by summarily dismissing his petition. Based upon the oral arguments, the record, and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction court.
