New Hampshire v. Griffin
Annotate this CaseDefendant Brandon Griffin was convicted by jury of being a drug enterprise leader (DEL). On appeal, defendant challenged the trial court’s denial of his pretrial motions to dismiss the DEL charge for: (1) lack of a speedy trial; and (2) violating his right to due process of law as set forth in New Hampshire v. Lordan, 116 N.H. 479 (1976). After review, the New Hampshire Supreme Court concluded that defendant’s right to a speedy trial was not violated because defendant acquiesced to the majority of the delay and suffered no identifiable prejudice. Furthermore, the Court concluded defendant’s due process rights were not violated because the Court's holding in Lordan did not apply to the State’s DEL prosecution of defendant.
