Criminal Procedure — speedy trials — new trials — ineffective assistance

Cyrus Brooks appeals a judgment convicting him of first degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime and an order denying his postconviction motion. He argues: (1) the case should have been dismissed because the State violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial; (2) he is entitled to a new trial based on newly discovered evidence; and (3) his trial counsel was ineffective. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
