Syllabus

Speedy-trial COVID-19 tolling events R.C. 2945.71 R.C. 2945.72. The trial court erred in finding that defendant's speedy-trial right was violated and dismissing his domestic violence charge. The record reflects that several events acted as valid tolling events, including the trial court's own administrative order citing difficulties holding jury trials due to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trial court's order dismissing the case failed to consider any of these valid tolling events.
