Criminal Procedure — speedy trial — Confrontation Clause — ineffective assistance

Anthony Jacobson appeals two judgments convicting him of multiple offenses and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Jacobson argues: (1) he was denied his right to a speedy trial; (2) the circuit court erroneously excluded certain evidence; (3) the exclusion of the evidence violated Jacobson’s right to confront witnesses; and (4) his trial attorney was ineffective. He also seeks a new trial in the interest of justice. We reject Jacobson’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
