KIMBERLY ANN SCOTT v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Julia Wilburn on May 22, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. J. Bo Ladner, III, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Kimberly Ann Scott.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Park Huff, Assistant Attorney General; Jason Lawson, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): GREENHOLTZ

The Petitioner, Kimberly Ann Scott, pled guilty in separate cases to one count of second degree murder and one count of reckless endangerment. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of nineteen years. Thereafter, the Petitioner filed a petition for post- conviction relief alleging that her guilty plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered and that she was denied the effective assistance of counsel during the plea process. Following an evidentiary hearing, the post-conviction court denied relief, and the Petitioner appealed. Upon our review, we respectfully affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
