Yangreek Tut Wal v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Yangreek Tut Wal, appeals the Davidson County Criminal Court's denial of his post-conviction petition, seeking relief from his guilty pleas to two counts of especially aggravated kidnapping and two counts of especially aggravated robbery and resulting effective sentence of forty years to be served at one hundred percent. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel, which resulted in his guilty pleas being unknowing and involuntary. Based upon the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
