DAVID SANDERS V. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Apr 9, 2021

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Benjamin Lewis, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Petitioner, David Sanders.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Katharine K. Decker, Assistant Attorney General; Jennings H. Jones, District Attorney General; and Sharon Reddick, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Petitioner, David Sanders, appeals the Rutherford County Circuit Court’s denial of post-conviction relief from his conviction of rape, for which he received a ten-year sentence of imprisonment. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-503. In his appeal, the Petitioner argues that his guilty plea was unknowingly and involuntarily entered based on the ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction court.
