Howard v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that “Sixth Amendment right does not afford the defendant the hybrid right to simultaneously represent himself and be represented by counsel”
• stating that the only evidence offered by defendant to prove that his case had caused him great anxiety and concern constituted hearsay and therefore was of no probative value, and that he could have mitigated any anxiety and concern by asserting his right to a speedy trial sooner
• defendant’s pro se motions asserting right to speedy trial were ineffective because they were filed when defendant was represented by counsel
• “[T]his Court has repeatedly held that a pro se demand for a speedy trial filed while a criminal defendant is represented by counsel was of no legal effect whatsoever.” (punctuation omitted)
• delay partially caused by counsel’s unavailability is attributable to the defendant
• “a pro se demand for speedy trial filed while a criminal defendant is represented by counsel [has] no legal effect whatsoever [because] the Sixth Amendment right does not afford the defendant the hybrid right to simultaneously represent himself and be represented by counsel”
