Wayne Sellers v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

Wayne Sellers (\the Petitioner\) appeals the denial of post-conviction relief from his 2013 Shelby County Criminal Court conviction for aggravated rape, for which he received a sentence of twenty-three years' incarceration. In this appeal, the Petitioner contends that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel's failure to explain the defense strategy to the Petitioner and object to the victim's in-court identification of the Petitioner. Discerning no error, we affirm the denial of postconviction relief.
