Gary Dotson vs. State of Tennessee
01C01-9607-CR-00318
Authoring Judge: Judge John H. Peay
Trial Court Judge: Judge Jane Wheatcraft

The petitioner was convicted of first-degree murder and employing a firearm during the commission of a felony. These convictions were affirmed on direct appeal. State v. Gary Thomas Dotson, No. 89-262-III, Sumner County (Tenn. Crim. App. filed Aug. 3, 1990, at Nashville). He is serving a life sentence plus five years for these offenses. In December 1992, he filed for post-conviction relief alleging that his lawyers were ineffective at both his trial and on direct appeal. The court below denied relief, which he now appeals. He further alleges that the post-conviction court erred when it denied his motion for forensic and psychological evaluations. Upon our review of both the record below and the trial record, we affirm.
