Douglas Eugene Horton v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Douglas Eugene Horton, appeals from the Henderson County Circuit Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his 2018 convictions for two counts of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance, four counts of possession of a firearm with intent to go armed during the commission of a dangerous felony, and four counts of facilitation of possession of a firearm with intent to go armed during the commission of a dangerous felony, for which he is serving an effective fifteen-year sentence. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred by denying relief on his ineffective assistance of counsel allegations for counsel's (1) failure to obtain adequate discovery, (2) failure to challenge the search warrant resulting in the Petitioner's arrest, (3) failure to subpoena the Petitioner's daughter and his girlfriend as witnesses at the trial, (4) failure to play a body camera recording purporting to show officer misconduct, and (5) cumulative errors during the trial. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
