Elizabeth Harrison v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

Pursuant to a plea agreement, the Petitioner, Elizabeth Harrison, pled guilty to theft over $1,000 and burglary of a motor vehicle, and the trial court sentenced the Petitioner to eighteen months in Community Corrections for each count. See Tenn. Code Ann.§§ 39-14-103, -402. Subsequently, the Petitioner filed a motion to withdraw her guilty pleas and petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that she received ineffective assistance of counsel. After a hearing, the post-conviction court denied both the motion and the petition. On appeal, the Petitioner argues that she received ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the pleas. Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
