GUARY WALLACE v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 27, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Cory Hancock (on appeal), Jackson, Tennessee, and Eric Egbert (at hearing), Trenton, Tennessee, for the appellant, Guary Wallace.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald L. Coleman, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Frederick Agee, District Attorney General; and Scott Kirk, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Petitioner, Guary Wallace, appeals the post-conviction court’s order denying his petition for post-conviction relief in which he challenged his convictions for attempted first degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, two counts of aggravated robbery, and two counts of especially aggravated assault and his effective 100-year sentence. On appeal, Petitioner contends that the prosecutor made improper comments during closing arguments at trial and that trial counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the prosecutor’s comments. Because Petitioner filed an untimely notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal.
