Syllabus

Appellant did not receive ineffective assistance of counsel by his trial counsel failing to file a motion to dismiss alleging a violation of his speedy-trial rights where appellant had executed two time waivers of unlimited duration, for which appellant never rescinded by filing an objection and demand with the trial court that the State bring him to trial, as any such motion would have been futile, nor did appellant receive ineffective assistance in the way in which his trial counsel chose to cross-examine the State's witnesses who testified against him as that falls under the ambit of trial strategy that does not form the basis for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
