JENNIFER HANNAH v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Amelia Ferrell Knisely on May 16, 2016

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Elaine Heard, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jennifer Hannah.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; David H. Findley, Senior Counsel; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Robert Wilson Jones, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): THOMAS

The Petitioner, Jennifer Hannah, appeals as of right from the post-conviction court’s denial of her petition for post-conviction relief, wherein she challenged her convictions for four counts of child neglect, one count of first degree felony murder during the perpetration of aggravated child neglect, and two counts of delivering a controlled substance to a minor. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that she received ineffective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel’s failure to call a “material” witness for the defense. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
