State v. Lintz

The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court affirming the county court’s order denying Appellant’s motion for absolute discharge, holding that thee court was unable to review the trial court’s determination as to whether charges should be dismissed on speedy trial grounds. Citing State v. Williams, 761 N.W.2d 514 (Neb. 2009), the Supreme Court ruled that the county court, as part of its ruling on Appellant’s motion for absolute discharge, was required to set forth the calculation of whether the speedy trial clock, as extended by statutorily excludable periods, had expired prior to the commencement of trial and that the trial court in this case did not. The Supreme Court remanded the case to the county court with directions to enter specific findings pursuant to the court’s directive in Williams. View "State v. Lintz" on Justia Law
