Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Ernest J. Beasley (on appeal), and Jim Hale (at post-conviction hearing), Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Stanley Jefferson.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; Steven J. Mulroy, District Attorney General; and Daniel Woodford, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Petitioner, Stanley Jefferson, appeals the denial of his post-conviction petition, arguing that the post-conviction court erred in denying his claims that trial counsel was ineffective by failing to object to the taking of Petitioner’s DNA. Following our review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the post- conviction court.
