State v. Stops
Annotate this Case
Following a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of felony DUI. The trial was held after several delays. Defendant was sentenced as a persistent felony offender to twenty years imprisonment with ten years suspended and ordered to pay restitution. Defendant appealed the district court's denial of his motion to dismiss based on an alleged violation of his speedy trial rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court (1) provided sufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law to enable appellate review of Defendant's speedy trial arguments; and (2) did not err in concluding that Defendant's speedy trial rights had not been violated under the circumstances.
