How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that once the right to a speedy trial attaches, the “time then runs until the date on which the defendant’s trial begins”
• noting in a speedy trial context that in examining the weight to assign the “assertion-of-the-right” factor, courts should consider the “timing, form, and vigor of the accused’s demands to be tried immediately”
• the appellant failed to show that trial counsel performed deficiently when the evidence showed that trial counsel attempted to locate alibi witnesses but they could not be found
• “Strickland places a heavy burden on [Appellant] to affirmatively prove prejudice through evidence of a reasonable probability of a different result.” (citation and punctuation 31 omitted)
• trial counsel did not perform deficiently when his investigator “reach[ed] out to [potential alibi witnesses], but they could not be found or could not testify to a credible alibi defense on [the defendant’s] behalf”
• defendant failed to show prejudice when he did not demonstrate “a reasonable probability that had his counsel filed a proper speedy trial demand, his trial’s outcome would have been different”
