How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that even absent evidence of plea negotiations occurring, it was reasonable for trial court to infer that delay was attributable to such negotiations
  • concluding that because the defendant’s “assertion [of his speedy trial right] was tardy . . . was made only once, and trial occurred within a relatively short time thereafter,” this factor weighed against the defendant
  • concluding factor weighed against appellant when assertion of right was tardy and trial occurred two months after
  • recognizing in speedy trial case that “the trial court is permitted to disbelieve evidence so long as there is a reasonable articulable basis for doing so”
  • noting that because “[a]ppellant’s assertion was tardy, it was made only 5 once, and trial occurred within a relatively short time thereafter,” this factor did not weigh in favor of the appellant
  • finding delay of more than one year in asserting right to speedy trial, and fact that trial occurred only two months later, weighed against defendant
