A Chattanooga man working for a new trial in his 1994 murder conviction questioned his former attorney Friday in the seventh day of his hearing.
Edward T. Kendrick III is alleging he received ineffective legal counsel from both his trial attorney, Hank Hill, and the attorney on his appeal, Jerry Summers.
Friday morning, Kendrick asked Summers to review challenges he made after the first trial.
Summers said the prosecution’s last-minute witness caught Hill off guard and seriously affected Kendrick’s defense.
A jury convicted Kendrick of shooting his wife, Lisa Kendrick, with a Remington 7400 .30-06 rifle.
