Guffie v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Guffie's convictions and sentences, holding that the evidence was sufficient and rejecting his ineffective-assistance and severance claims. Guffie failed to show either deficient performance or prejudice from counsel's preparation decisions or failure to pursue plea negotiations, and he failed to show that the joint trial was prejudicial. The court also held that his argument concerning the speedy-trial motion was waived because it was not presented below.
