Mickey Edwards v. State of Tennessee
Syllabus
The Petitioner, Mickey Edwards, appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief for his jury trial convictions for four counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of theft of property, identity theft, and fraudulent use of a credit card, for which he is serving an effective sixty-year sentence. On appeal, he contends that the post-conviction court erred in denying relief on his ineffective assistance of counsel claim related to trial counsel's lack of objections to instances of alleged prosecutorial misconduct. He also alleges a free-standing claim that he was denied a fair trial due to the alleged prosecutorial misconduct. We affirm.
