MICAH ROSS JOHNSON v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jan 28, 2022

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gregory P. Isaacs and J. Franklin Ammons, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Micah Ross Johnson.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Katherine C. Redding, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Kevin Allen, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WITT

The petitioner, Micah Ross Johnson, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, which petition challenged his 2011 convictions of first degree murder and especially aggravated robbery, alleging that he was deprived of the effective assistance of trial counsel.1 Because the petitioner has established that he is entitled to post-conviction relief, we reverse the judgment of the post-conviction court and remand the case for a new trial.
