Davis v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Davis’s convictions and sentences, holding that the trial court properly rejected his constitutional speedy-trial claim after balancing the relevant factors. The court also held that Davis could not challenge the exclusion of the reverse character evidence because the trial court never ruled it inadmissible and Davis abandoned the issue. His ineffective-assistance claims failed because counsel’s decisions were reasonable trial strategy and the proposed character evidence was inadmissible propensity evidence.
