Bobby Dewayne Presley v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

Petitioner sought post-conviction relief alleging that trial counsel's ineffectiveness prevented him from seeking a direct appeal. The post-conviction court denied relief after a hearing, finding that Petitioner failed to show he was prejudiced by trial counsel's actions. We determine that the record does not preponderate against the findings of the post-conviction court. Therefore, we affirm the denial of post-conviction relief.
