Kevin Dewayne Stinnett v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Kevin Dewayne Stinnett, appeals from the Marshall County Circuit Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The Petitioner is serving an effective eighteen-year sentence following his jury trial convictions for multiple drug-related offenses. On appeal, he contends that the post-conviction court erred in denying relief on his ineffective assistance of counsel claims related to trial counsel's failures to: (1) move for a dismissal for one count of the indictment, (2) object to the State's introduction of evidence, and (3) request a jury instruction. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
