Lee O. Anderson v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Lee O. Anderson, appeals the Fayette County Circuit Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions for delivery of one-half gram of cocaine and delivery of less than one-half gram of cocaine. This court affirmed the judgments of conviction. See State v. Lee O. Anderson, No. W2000-00671-CCA-R3-CD, Fayette County (Tenn. Crim. App. Feb. 9, 2001), app. denied (Tenn. June 25, 2001). The petitioner claims that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney (1) failed to present evidence of the petitioner's treatment for drug addiction in order to support a casual exchange defense and (2) failed to raise an insufficiency of the evidence claim on appeal of his convictions. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
