Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Ann C. Short, Knoxville, Tennessee (at hearing and on appeal) and Donald Bosch, Knoxville, Tennessee (at hearing), for the appellant, Braylen Bennett.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Abigail H. Rinard, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Ta Kisha Fitzgerald, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Petitioner, Braylen Bennett, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, arguing that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel, that his guilty pleas were unknowing, unintelligent, and involuntary, and that the cumulative effect of trial counsel’s deficiencies in performance warrants post-conviction relief. Based on our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
