• 2022 Ohio 2460

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by denying appellant's motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds where neither appellant's statutory speedy trial rights under R.C. 2945.71 or his constitutional speedy trial rights under both the United States and Ohio Constitutions were violated given that the time appellant spent in jail awaiting trial was tolled and the speedy-trial time period extended due to reasons including the COVID-19 pandemic, a mental competency determination, and multiple continuances that pushed appellant's trial date back by over a year.
