Strandlien v. State

Wyoming Supreme Court

Decided April 26, 2007No. 05-8PublishedCited by 25 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GOLDEN, Justice.

[T1] Appellant Chad Strandlien seeks review of his conviction for aggravated vehicular homicide under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-2-106(b)(i) (LexisNexis 2005). 1 Strandlien con tends, among other things, that he was denied a speedy trial and that defense counsel rendered constitutionally deficient assistance by failing to consult with a pertinent expert witness. We find no speedy trial violation, but we do find that Strandlien was denied effective assistance of counsel. We therefore reverse Strandlien's conviction.
