A-20-50, State (Appellant) v. Sailors
Gage County, District Court Judge Ricky A. Schreiner
Attorney for Appellant: Roger Harris, Amanda Spracklen-Hogan (Gage County Attorney’s Office)
Attorney for Appellee: Robert Wm. Chapin, Jr.
Criminal Action: Speedy Trial
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court sustained the Appellee’s motion for absolute discharge on speedy trial grounds.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: The Appellant contends that the district court erred in granting the Appellee’s motion for absolute discharge based upon its findings that: (1) the current charge was not separate and distinct from a prior charge; and (2) the Appellant had failed to meet its burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to overcome the Appellee’s motion for absolute discharge.
