Syllabus

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW/CRIMINAL — SPEEDY TRIAL — COUNSEL The trial court did not err by denying defendant's pro se motion to dismiss based on a speedy-trial violation where the defendant was represented by counsel at the time of the filing and counsel did not join in the motion. The trial court did not violate defendant's speedy-trial rights where the trial court accepted defendant's no-contest pleas and found him within the statutory time limit, and, therefore trial counsel was not ineffective in failing to raise the speedy-trial issue in the trial court.
