State v. Maloney
Annotate this CaseIn 2013, Defendant was charged with five counts of felony criminal endangerment and two counts of felony assault on a peace officer. Defendant later pleaded guilty to the charges. In 2014, the State filed a motion asking the court to set a sentencing hearing. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss for lack of a speedy trial. The district court denied Defendant’s motion and sentenced him to a total of thirty years imprisonment. Defendant appealed, arguing that his right to a speedy trial was violated by pre-trial and pre-sentencing delays. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the State did not violate Defendant’s right to a speedy trial through excessive pre-trial delay; and (2) although the sentencing delay was perhaps excessive, the State did not violate Defendant’s due process rights through sentencing delay.
