Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 15, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Kyle D. Parks, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Kevin D. Buford.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Abigail H. Hornsby, Assistant Attorney General; Ronald L. Coleman, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Glen R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Amy Hunter, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Petitioner, Kevin D. Buford, appeals the denial of his post-conviction petition, arguing that the post-conviction erred in denying his claims that trial counsel was ineffective by failing to seek a continuance, failing to establish a defense, calling him to testify, and failing to call an expert witness. He further argues that trial counsel’s representation resulted in prejudice and that he is entitled to relief based on the cumulative effect of trial counsel’s errors. Following our review of the entire record, the briefs of the parties, and arguments of counsel, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
