People v. Teen

Defendant was found guilty of aggravated battery and first-degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. On direct appeal, defendant argued that his speedy trial rights were violated and that the trial court erred when it prevented Krankel counsel from presenting additional claims and evidence at the Krankel hearing. The appellate court affirmed, finding that defendant was tried within the statutory speedy trial period and that the trial court did not prevent Krankel counsel from performing his duties or improperly limit the evidentiary hearing. (WELCH and BARBERIS, concurring)
