Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court erred when it granted appellee's motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds. The total number of days attributable to the State for speedy trial purposes was only 66 days. Because fewer than 90 days had passed pursuant to R.C. 2945.71(B)(2), appellee's statutory speedy trial rights were not violated. Furthermore, the record does not establish that the delay in prosecution was unreasonable or unjustified given appellee's pending competency evaluation and hospitalization outside of Montgomery County. Judgment reversed and remanded. (Hall, J., concurring.)
