A Davidson County jury found the Petitioner, James Arthur Johnson, guilty of two counts of first degree felony murder and one count of aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced the Petitioner to a total effective sentence of life plus eleven years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, this Court affirmed the Petitioner?s convictions and sentence. State v. James Arthur Johnson, No. M2009-01147-CCA-R3- CD, 2010 WL 3323796, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, Aug. 24, 2010), perm. app. denied (Tenn. August 24, 2010). The Petitioner filed a petition seeking post- conviction relief based upon his allegation that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. The post-conviction court denied the petition after a hearing. On appeal, after a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the post-conviction court?s judgment.
