ANGELA BREWER v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Nov 19, 2020

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jeremy T. Armstrong, Covington, Tennessee, for the appellant, Angela Brewer.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Caitlin Smith, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Mark E. Davidson, District Attorney General; and Erik Haas, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

A Tipton County jury convicted Petitioner, Angela Brewer, of first degree premeditated murder, and the trial court sentenced Petitioner to life. Petitioner appealed, and this court affirmed her conviction and sentence. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief, and after a hearing, the post-conviction court denied relief. On appeal, Petitioner argues that the post-conviction court erred in denying relief on her claim that she received ineffective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel’s failure to consult with Petitioner regarding the evidence and to secure a firearms expert to testify for the defense. Following a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
