Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 18, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: David W. MacNeill, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jerrico Lamont Hawthorne.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Coty Wamp, District Attorney General; and P. Andrew Coyle, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

Petitioner, Jerrico Lamont Hawthorne, appeals from the denial of his petition for post- conviction relief and argues that the post-conviction court erred in denying his claim that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to call a witness who would have testified that Defendant was not present for the shooting. Following our review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
