Description

Criminal Law -- Time of Trial A failure as a matter of common practice to conduct jury trials during a term of court is not good cause to continue a criminal case after a motion has been made by the defendant for a speedy trial. Relator, Gerald Workman, is confined in the Lewis County jail (in lieu of $10,000 bond) awaiting trial on an indictment for third degree sexual assault against his thirteen year-old stepdaughter. Relator contends that his right to a speedy trial has been violated. We agree and direct the dismissal of the indictment with prejudice.
