Sahin v. State

Summary

The case is about Ramazan Sahin appealing from a Superior Court order denying his Superior Court Criminal Rule 61 motion for post-conviction relief. On appeal, Sahin claims that his trial defense attorney's comments to the trial judge, made before and during his bench trial, constituted ineffective assistance of counsel in violation of his Sixth Amendment right. Sahin further argues that defense counsel's comments created an objective appearance of judicial bias against him, thereby violating his right to a fair trial. We find no merit in these claims, and affirm.
