Danks v. State

OPINION

BARNES, Judge

Case Summary

Larry K. Danks appeals the denial of his post-conviction petition that sought relief from his conviction for felony murder entered pursuant to a plea of guilty but mentally ill. We affirm.

Issues

Danks presents two issues for our review, which we restate as follows:

1. whether a delay of nearly six and one-half years between his purported arrest for murder and robbery and the filing of charges for those offenses constituted a denial of Danks’ Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial;

2. whether Danks received ineffective assistance of counsel. 1
