Judge(s): SMITH

A Shelby County jury convicted Petitioner, Jonathan Everett, of one count of second degree murder, one count of attempted voluntary manslaughter, and one count of reckless endangerment. He received an effective sentence of twenty-nine years, eleven months, and twenty-nine days for those offenses. This court affirmed the verdict and sentence on direct appeal. See State v. Jonathan Everett, W2008-01578-CCA-R3-CD, 2011 WL 1304893 (Tenn. Crim. App. at Jackson, Apr. 4, 2011). Petitioner subsequently filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel at trial and on direct appeal. The Post-Conviction Court denied his petition. We affirm the decision of the Post- Conviction Court.
