JEFFREY MCCOY v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jan 31, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jeffrey McCoy, Columbia, South Carolina, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Garry G. Brown, District Attorney General; and Jason C. Scott, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILLIAMS

The Petitioner, Jeffrey McCoy, pleaded guilty to theft of property valued at $10,000 or more and three counts of burglary of a building other than a habitation. The trial court imposed a twelve-year effective sentence to be served consecutively to a previous sentence in South Carolina. The Petitioner appeals the post-conviction court’s summary dismissal of his pro se petition for post-conviction relief. The Petitioner maintains that the post-conviction court erred in finding that the petition was barred by the statute of limitations. The State concedes error. After a review of the record and applicable law, we reverse the judgment of the post-conviction court and remand for appointment of counsel and further proceedings consistent with the Post-Conviction Procedure Act.
