S-16-1063 State v. Joseph Gill (Appellant)
Saunders County, Judge Mary C. Gilbride
Attorneys: Mark A. Steele (Appellant) --- Siobhan Duffy (Attorney General’s Office)
Criminal: Speedy trial; motion for absolute discharge
Proceedings below: The district court overruled the motion for absolute discharge and motion to dismiss finding the statutory period had not run between the date of the filing of the action and the date set for trial.
Issues: The district court erred in (1) denying the motion for absolute discharge as he was not brought to trial within the time period set forth in Neb. Rev. Stat. 29-1207; (2) denying the motion for absolute discharge based on his constitutional right to a speedy trial; (3) failing to consider Appellant’ motion for dismissal due to the failure to file information within the statutory time period from the date of the alleged offenses.
