Syllabus

Appellant's no-contest pleas were knowing, intelligent, and voluntary where the trial court informed him in a reasonable manner that he was waiving his right to a jury trial. Due to an over one-year delay in ruling on appellant's motion to dismiss an indictment and the lack of explanation in the record for the lengthy delay, appellant's constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated. Convictions vacated and appellant ordered discharged.
