1. ““Additionally, this Court states that even if an oral or written motion to dismiss or arrest judgment had been timely made or filed, it would have been overruled. Movant received a fair trial, she received the effective assistance of counsel, she was fully aware of the charges against her and was able to provide a defense, could not plead the conviction in any subsequent prosecution, or that the information violated her rights.””
