Syllabus

Pro se litigants speedy-trial rights R.C. 2945.71 R.C. 2945.72. Defendant's convictions for misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging, and his associated sentence, are vacated, because he was not brought to trial within the statutory time frame found in R.C. 2945.71(B)(2). The municipal court improperly charged continuances to the defendant, which, in turn, improperly tolled his speedy-trial time.
