Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joseph B. Simmons, III, Atoka, Tennessee, for the appellant, Robert Lee Adams, Jr.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Mark Davidson, District Attorney General; and Sean Hord, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Petitioner, Robert Lee Adams, Jr., appeals the Tipton County Circuit Court’s denial of his post-conviction petition, seeking relief from his conviction of attempted second degree murder and resulting thirty-year sentence. On appeal, he claims that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel at trial and on direct appeal of his convictions. Based on our review, we affirm the post-conviction court’s denial of the petition.
