Jonathan Mitchell Grimes v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

Petitioner, Jonathan Grimes, appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, which sought relief from his conviction of aggravated sexual battery. On appeal, Petitioner asserts four claims of ineffective assistance of counsel: (1) trial counsels did not take reasonable steps to keep the State from presenting prejudicial allegations at trial that were not included in the indictment (2) trial counsels failed to communicate a favorable plea and failed to actively seek out a favorable plea for Petitioner (3) trial counsels failed to visit or take photos of the crime scene and (4) trial counsels failed to present evidence of the victim's medical history regarding her credibility. After reviewing the briefs and the record, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
