Description

The petitioner-appellant, Charles Edward Hartman, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced on May 23, 1983, to death by electrocution. His conviction and sentence were affirmed by this Court in State v. Hartman, 703 S.W.2d 106 (Tenn. 1985), cert. denied 478 U.S. 1010, 106 S.Ct. 3308, 92 L. Ed. 2d 721 (1986). On January 28, 1987, Hartman filed the post-conviction petition that is the subject of this appeal. In it, he raised numerous issues, including ineffective assistance of counsel during the sentencing phase and prosecutorial misconduct resulting in a violation of his constitutional rights under Massiah v. United States, 377 U.S. 201, 84 S.Ct. 1199, 12 L. Ed. 2d 246 (1964), and Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1963). The post-conviction court found no merit in any of the issues presented and dismissed the petition. The Court of Criminal Appeals modified the judgment of the trial court and affirmed it as modified. We granted review in this cause under Rule 11, Tenn. R. App. P., chiefly to consider the two above-described issues.
