Jeffrey S. Petty v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Jeffrey S. Petty, appeals the Dickson County Circuit Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. On appeal, he argues that trial counsel was ineffective by (1) failing to move for a mistrial based on juror misconduct (2) failing to file a motion to suppress evidence found in the Petitioner's car and (3) failing to include certain issues in his motion for new trial. Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
