How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that the defendant’s consent to a delay by failure to appear was revoked when the defendant reinitiated contact with the court
  • concluding that the total state-attributed delay of seven months, of which six months were unexplained delay, was reasonable
  • explaining that “the unavailability of witnesses is one of the most common causes of delay” and does not weigh heavily against the state
  • finding that the defendant impliedly consented to the period during his failure-to-appear status, which lasted until the defendant again contacted the court by filing a motion to waive his appearance and entering a plea of not guilty
  • “[Djeciding the statutory claim would not obviate the need to examine the constitutional claims, which offer more complete relief.”
  • accepting the state’s concession that a delay of seven months for a charge of one count of DUII was “significantly longer than average”
