Jonathon D. Brown v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

Petitioner, Jonathon D. Brown, was convicted by a Robertson County jury of aggravated rape, especially aggravated kidnapping, and theft of property over the value of $1,000, for which he received an effective sentence of sixty years' incarceration. Petitioner filed for post-conviction relief, which was denied following an evidentiary hearing. Petitioner appeals, asserting that he received ineffective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel's failure to adequately meet with Petitioner given the severity of the charges and trial counsel's failure to secure a land survey to \further buttress his venue argument.\ After a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
