How courts have described this case

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

  • holding pretrial incarceration was not an issue where the defendant was released on recognizance almost four months after being arrested
  • concluding a seventeen-month delay was unreasonable because “the record on appeal shows no difficulty with complexity of investigation, lost witnesses, trouble marshalling evidence, or any other mitigating circumstance justifying the delay”
  • noting the defendant shared in responsibility for the delay because he initially indicated he would waive speedy trial and acquiesced to low-priority settings
  • noting both Sixth Amendment to United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 13 of Idaho Constitution guarantee to criminal defendant’s right to speedy trial
