2010

Bevil v. U.S., No. 2:06-CR-52, No. 2:07-CV-224 (E.D.Tenn. 8-16-2010) -- Petitioner filed a motion under 28 USC § 2255 for post-conviction relief. In early 2006, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received reports of child pornography uploads to a Yahoo photos Web page. An administrative subpoena was issued and petitioner was identified as the owner of the Web page. Pursuant to a federal search warrant, petitioner's computer was searched and multiple images of child pornography were located. He pled guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 327 months. Petitioner listed several grounds for post-conviction relief, most having to do with ineffective assistance of counsel. The motion was denied.
