Marcus Johnson v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Marcus Johnson, appeals from the Shelby County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for relief from his convictions for felony murder and aggravated assault and his effective life sentence. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred in denying relief on his Rule 36.1 illegal sentence, habeas corpus, and post-conviction claims. We reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand this case in order for the trial court to enter an order reflecting findings of fact and conclusions of law as to each claim for relief.

Judges: Judge Robert H. Montgomery, Jr.
