Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Victor Valle, Pro Se, Whiteville, Tennessee.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Abigail H. Hornsby, Assistant Attorney General.

Judge(s): EASTER

Petitioner, Victor Valle, appeals the denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus relief, arguing that he was entitled to and did not receive juvenile proceedings before the trial court admitted evidence of prior bad acts committed while Petitioner was a minor; the trial court erred by admitting evidence of prior bad acts; he received ineffective assistance of counsel; his indictment was insufficient to provide the trial court with subject matter jurisdiction; the State committed prosecutorial misconduct; the trial court improperly instructed the jury; and the cumulative effect of these errors deprived him of his right to a fair trial. After review, we affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.
