Rodney Raymond Brewer, Jr. v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Rodney Raymond Brewer, Jr., appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The Petitioner pled guilty to Class B felony possession of a schedule II controlled substance with the intent to sell in exchange for an agreed-upon Range I sentence of eleven years. On appeal, the Petitioner alleges that he received ineffective assistance due to trial counsel's (1) failure to effectively investigate and argue the motion to suppress (2) failure to investigate the Petitioner's range classification (3) failure to properly advise him regarding the law of constructive possession (4) failure to argue for enforcement of the original nine-year plea offer and (5) failure to file an appeal. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
