JAYLUN MALIK CURRIE v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 13, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Donald Hacket III, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jaylun Malik Currie.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ronald Coleman and Joshua R. Gilbert, Assistant Attorneys General; Mark Davidson, District Attorney General; and Sean Hord, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MONTGOMERY

The Petitioner, Jaylun Malik Currie, appeals from the Tipton County Circuit Court’s denial of post-conviction relief from the Petitioner’s convictions for aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault by strangulation, and aggravated criminal trespass and his effective eight-year sentence. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred by denying relief on his ineffective assistance of counsel claims and that he was prejudiced by the cumulative effect of counsel’s alleged multiple instances of deficient performance. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
