Reginold C. Steed v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Reginold C. Steed, appeals the Davidson County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. On appeal, he argues: (1) post-trial counsel provided ineffective assistance in failing to present evidence that the victim allegedly recanted his trial testimony identifying the Petitioner as the perpetrator (2) the post-conviction court erred in failing to notify him of the date of the post-conviction hearing and (3) the trial court erred in failing to consider the victim's alleged recantation during sentencing. We affirm the denial of post-conviction relief. However, we remand the case for entry of a corrected judgment form in Count 2, as specified in this opinion.
