State v. Steigelman
Annotate this CasePursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant pleaded guilty to felony DUI. Defendant appealed, arguing that the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the charge based on an alleged violation of his speedy trial rights. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding (1) Defendant suffered substantial pretrial delay largely attributed to the State's institutional delay in bringing him to trial, but Defendant failed to demonstrate that the delay caused undue prolonged disruption of his life or aggravated his anxiety beyond the expected level; and (2) Defendant failed to demonstrate that this delay substantially prejudiced his ability to defend against the charges.
