Marshall v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court denying Appellant's pro se petition for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, holding that the trial court did not clearly err when it denied relief.
Appellant was convicted of aggravated residential burglary and sentenced to a term of life imprisonment. In his postconviction relief petition, Appellant alleged that counsel ineffectively requested trial continuances without legal bases or good cause, thus depriving him of his speedy trial rights. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, even assuming that counsel's requests delayed Appellant's trial without a legal basis, Appellant failed to demonstrate that he was prejudiced as a result of those alleged errors.
