Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court did not err in dismissing misdemeanor charges against appellee based upon a speedy-trial violation. The appellee's pretrial suppression motion only tolled the speedy-trial clock for the time reasonably necessary to decide the motion. The record contains no conceivable justification for a 513-day delay between a hearing on appellee's motion and the trial court's resolution of it. The fact that appellee's suppression motion may have been untimely did not negate the speedy-trial issue. Judgment affirmed.
