Bido v. State
Annotate this Case
Defendant was convicted of aiding and abetting murder and conspiracy to commit robbery. The Supreme Court affirmed on direct appeal. Defendant subsequently filed an application for postconviction relief, setting forth five allegations of error, including the allegation that counsel's failure to seek dismissal of the indictment on speedy trial grounds amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial justice denied the application. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial justice's denial of Defendant's allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel was correct, as Defendant's speedy-trial contention ultimately would have proven unsuccessful, and Defendant could not show that the result of the proceeding against him would have been different.
