Posted by: Karen Belcher on Nov 6, 2018

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Kirk W. Stewart, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Derrick Pierce.

Attorneys 2:

Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Jonathan H. Wardle, Assistant Attorney General; Amy P. Weirich, District Attorney General; and Glen Baity and Scott Smith, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WOODALL

Petitioner, Derrick Pierce, appeals the denial of his post-conviction petition. Petitioner argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial which forced him to plead guilty after the trial began, and the State had presented proof. Following a review of the briefs of the parties and the entire record, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
