Posted by: Azya Thornton on Apr 27, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Melinda Meador, Martin, Tennessee, for the appellant, Christopher Thomas Thompson.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; G. Kirby May, Assistant Attorney General; Colin Johnson, District Attorney General; and Kate M. Bynum, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): SWORD

The Petitioner, Christopher Thomas Thompson, appeals from the Weakley County Circuit Court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. On appeal, the Petitioner argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel due to trial counsel’s failure to develop a defense strategy or otherwise investigate possible defenses and that his guilty plea was involuntary. Discerning no error, we affirm.
