Ronnie Wilson v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Ronnie Wilson, appeals from the Jefferson County Circuit Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The Petitioner contends that he received ineffective assistance from his trial counsel because trial counsel (1) made no effort to exclude a prior aggravated robbery conviction that the State sought to use as impeachment evidence (2) failed to explain the concept of criminal responsibility to the Petitioner and (3) was intoxicated when he met with the Petitioner prior to trial. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
