JOHNNY WILKERSON v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jan 31, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Earnest J. Beasley, Memphis, Tennessee, for the Petitioner, Johnny Wilkerson.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald L. Coleman, Assistant Attorney General; Amy P. Weirich, District Attorney General; and Leslie Byrd, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Petitioner, Johnny Wilkerson, appeals the denial of post-conviction relief from his two convictions for aggravated robbery, for which he received an effective forty-year sentence. In this appeal, the Petitioner alleges that trial counsel provided ineffective assistance in failing to investigate his case, in failing to explain why he could not have a suppression hearing, and in failing to call an alibi witness at trial. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
