Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 12, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gregory D. Smith, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Justin Quistopher Webb.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald L. Coleman, Senior Assistant Attorney General, and J. Katie Neff, Assistant Attorney General; Robert J. Nash, District Attorney General; and Ann M. Kroeger, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

The Petitioner, Justin Quistopher Webb, pled guilty to attempted first degree murder and theft of property and received a sentence of twenty years. Thereafter, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that his plea counsel rendered ineffective assistance in failing to advise him of the significant consequences of the plea. After a hearing, the post- conviction court denied the petition by finding that plea counsel was not ineffective. On appeal, the Petitioner argues that the post-conviction court erred in denying his petition, asserting that he proved his allegations by clear and convincing evidence. Upon our review, we respectfully disagree and affirm the post-conviction court’s judgment.
